With three speed gearboxes, I usually put the release bearing onto the levers on the clutch before the engine goes in. If you're not to brutal, it will stay there as the engine is fitted as it's quite a tight fit. Just need to make sure that the operating levers (on the through rod) engage with the release bearing when all is installed.
There are some advantages to having an older car, blind splines were not fitted until 1928/29 (I think), so the whole process is much easier on early models.
