Hanging the exhaust on a '79 300SD

Question for the peanut gallery...

When mounting the exhaust downpipe to the turbo, there is a bracket that mounts to the exhaust manifold and holds the exhaust out of the turbo and down. Easier to mount the bracket then ease it into the two bolts on the exhaust manifold or easier to mount the bracket and move the exhaust into position?

TIA.

Hanging the exhaust back on to the turbo sucks. In terms of process, the manuals are useless. Not having a lift is making matters worse. Do I need to mount it to the turbo first then shore up underneath at the trans tunnel support or set it first on the support then try to wiggle it up? Also, is it easier/preferred to hook up the mounting clamp and the connector to the turbo or to the exhaust? Ugh. I may lose a finger or two in this process!
