Motor and transaxle in prior to mounting body

Check my buildsite. That's the way I'm doing it. Not due to lack of room, but because I wanted the engine in position to attach everything the first time.
As to this point in the build, I've had no problems with the drivetrain in place, just a little tight working in front of the engine, but I can reach those areas from down below.
That being said, I've got the CanAm, and it could be slightly different.
When I asked Ted the same question a while back, his answer was that since most of rollers they assemble use the AS engine, they know exactly where to put all the hoses and wires.

Storage problems ?? No worries.
I have a windscreen in my bedroom, a spare room full of body panels, the lounge has 2 fuel tanks, radiators, drive axles on the floor, a Yamaha FJ1100 as a talking peice (yes! in the lounge)!
That leaves one half of the basement for the car and the other half for the pre assembly/production of stuff .. oh and not to mention mig and tig welders, oxy, folder, roller and gilotine, washing machine and dryer !!! Almost forgot the engine, 3 gearboxes suspensions and every other damn part of the car as well !!
And you're worried about space lololol
