MSD Ignition install question.

I plan on installing a MSD distibutor some time this summer. I already have a 6al box, with chip set. Should I wait untill I get the distibutor before I install the 6al?
I've been told to wait since the combo of the 2 installed will delete unecessary pcs, and all around it would be easier to wire in shift light and tach,(plug in). If I install 6al first I would have to do alot of unecessary spliceing.
what do you think?

Absolutely, I would wait til you get the MSD distrib before you hook it up. The distrib comes with a pre-wired plug on the end that plugs right into th MSD box. Do it now, and you would also have to rewire the tach.
Personally, I hate to do things twice.

Just for argument sake I have a seperate shift light, and prob would run that into 6al box not tach. But i think tach and shift light could be spliced together. am i right? i think the re-wire would be the orange box and ballest resistor which would be deleted. i think?
