Topic: Installing exhaust and carbs before wiring harness? 74 550k

I have a free day before the wiring harness gets done, so I'm just wondering if the exhaust or carbs will be in the way of installing the factory wiring harness? I can't think of anything that would cause an issue, but it's been seven years since I took it apart, so I'm a little rusty.

wiring harness has to be routed through the airbox in some tight spots, It would be easier without carbs. Maybe impossible actually with the stock airbox installed.

Thanks, that makes sense. Carbs aren't too time consuming to mount, so that doesn't worry me too much.
