Oh right.
Well I'd do as much as you can to the engine and the transmission - well, as much as you are planning (don't get carried away now!) - when it is out. It is much easier to work on it now - particularly if you are cleaning or if you have to drill out fasteners...
I wouldn't put on any(*) lines until you come to fit the engine to the car => One exception - the oil cooler lines.
My point being lines and crap hanging off the engine causes scratches / damage / frustration when fitting it. Only the oil cooler lines appear to cause a greater frustration for most people when fitting them to the engine in the car - though I still think removing the second mounting brackets makes it a lot easier...
But I must say the biggest crime you are making so far is not enough
