Tom,
actually this is a better place for Sprite coverage since the Sprite and
Midget are identical and the Healey list mainly covers big Healeys.

You can install the engine and tranny together or put in the tranny first.
I have only done both at once, but have read that this is the preferred
method by most. Lining the engine and tranny in the engine bay might be
tricky.
The starter is much easier to get at out of the car, but everything else
you mention you can install later if you want.

Access to the master cylinders is the same before or after, if your metal
brake lines are crushed or rusted, now is the ime to change them.
Have fun,
