It's a lot easier installing it all assembled but if your car is restored
there's a possibilty to damage it putting it in that way, especially with a
header - it is a tight fit between the header and the engine mount.
On unrestored cars I've removed/installed the engine with everything on but
wasn't too concerned about scratches.
I play it safe and install w/o the header and carbs. More work but safer.
Your choice of course.
