Have I yet disturbed the IP timing?
I want to cut the timing chain to remove head. Can I do so and suspend the ends of the chain and keep the IP timing correct.
Are there IP timing marks on the gear under the vacuum pump that I can use to verify timing?

You have not disturbed the timing.........yet.
However, you should absolutely not cut the timing chain at any time.........even if it's properly installed on the engine. All timing will be immediately lost and you'll have to set both the cam and the IP to the crank............not a very simple procedure for those that haven't already done it.
