Question, is it easier to install the intake with the fuel lines assembled onto it or put them on after?

FSM calls for replacing both seals on each delivery valve.
The reason the old O-rings rolled off like that was because of riding against the sharp thread edges.
My best guess is you will be re-doing this job within three months, because of leaks - performance issues.
