As above. I always place the linkages between and pick up both at once and then holding it all together with the linkages staying in place place it on the manifold.

and then you bump one of the carbs against a stud and it moves out of alignment and then drop them both...

I used to do something similar, now I just have one carb, much easier to deal with!
