I installed mine with the fuel pump in place but not the alternator because I needed the head bolt holes for chains.
It may also be that if installing the engine/trans together, you have to start with the engine forward quite a bit and kind of swing the engine down and back over the front suspension X-brace. There are also the chassis tubes running over the footboxes and narrowing in towards the X-brace and possibly the fuel pump could hang up. I'm just guessing.
Dropping the engine in w/o the transmission allows it to drop in almost vertically. But putting the trans is separately was a chore.
