Afaik, fitting an assembled jackshaft on a previously installed stock engine is no problem - - no need to remove the front pulley. There will be plenty of space to position the jackshaft assembly where it needs to be.
No matter what manifold you're running, however, if you want to PULL the engine w/o removing the jackshaft first, you'll need to work the front pulley off during the process to clear the chassis structure.
I was planning to re-re-install my engine with the jackshaft in place (...install front pulley before it's all the way in....), but reconsidering things now given Mark's comment about possible smashed glass!!

Nate, I replaced the bearings in my jackshaft a few years ago. I had no problem removing and reinstalling the assembled jackshaft with the engine in the car. I would recommend adding it after the engine is installed. Just one more thing to get in the way or to get damaged while putting the engine back in the car.
