Default Assy Sequence; Engine, Fan, Shroud, Radiator, etc.

I'm close to having my engine ready and in a week or two, I'll be dropping the BB back in the bay of one of my 73's. What is the best sequence for installing these items:

Engine
Radiator fan & clutch
Radiator shroud
Radiator
Condensor

Thanks!

I would reverse a few of those

Engine
Radiator shroud
Fan and clutch
Radiator
Condenser

You could also do:
Engine
Place shroud but don't bolt anything down
Radiator (it can be easier to put the lower hose on when the shroud is loose)
Fan and clutch
Bolt in shroud
Condenser

engine
radiator
fan shroud
fan blades and clutch
