I almost always remove/install the engine with the head OFF.

Couple of advantages:

1 - less weight, easier to move the engine about to mate the engine/gearbox
2 - I don't have to remove the bonnet/hood. 
3 - When replacing the head, I find easier to re-torque the head properly
than 
with the engine sliding around the garage floor
