Default Long Tube install with motor out

I just wanna make sure I have this right, I can bolt up the passenger side LT with the motor out, but the drivers side I should run the steering shaft through and just let it sit in the car until I put the motor in. Also, I haven't looked at my LTs in a while, but is it obvious which spot the shaft goes through (or someone can tell me lol)

Im not sure if you can put the passenger header on first, but if you do make sure to bolt up the starter first. And for the steering shaft you will know where it goes when you get there.

You'll see an indentation in the primaries where the steering shaft goes. It doesnt go through the longtubes, it goes on the outside of the longtubes. You'll see the kink in the primary. Its pretty obvious.
