What car? I assume the x's are the markings when the wheel and pressure plate were balanced. Don't forget to use the input shaft to align the pressure plate.

Nothing special about installing a clutch here...
Suggest attaching the transmission to the engine and then installing both.
Reason being that putting the tranmission on the engine underneath the car
is a pain as things generally don't completely line up and there is less room to get
around stuff and tighten bolts, etc.
Installing beforehand has to be easier. Haven't done the engine install with transmission,
though others have and say its the way to go.
