I've R&R'd my big block several times with the fuel pump attached. You shouldn't have any trouble doing the same on a small block. The installation is a lot easier with the bellhousing attached to the transmission, and the clutch already installed on the flywheel. Plan to use a good steel alignment tool on the clutch to do the latter. The plastic things that come with clutch kits are dicey and may make it very hard to slide the trans shaft through the clutch disk. It should slide right in, no forcing needed.
