Question when installing my newly built engine (TTA)

So getting ready to drop the engine in place ... all empty engine bay and no transmission in there ...

Anyway, this is the plan:

- Drop engine in place (pretty complete but without the wire harness, no cross over pipe, no starter, no DP, no starter, no IC, no coilpack+bracket)
- Have transmission cooler lines in place as they sneak between the driver side engine mount
- Install transmission and connect oil cooler lines properly (can I get to all trans - engine bolts? Do the trans oil dip stick tube install after the trans is in place, TV wire already connected so will sneak that one up there as well).
- Install DP, cross over, starter, IC etc
- Fit coilpack and bracket
- Install complete engine wire harness (should I expect any problems fitting this at this stage)
- all other smaller bits and pieces ....

Any pointers, recommendations, hard to reach/install areas or order of things would be much appreciated to make sure there's a smooth install.

Also should I prime the engine while in the engine stand or wait untill it's in the car?
