A1200 - n00b|Indivision MK2CR,ACA-1232/40, CF-HDD 4GB

Tomorrow I will get the following equipment from Vesalia for my A1200.
- IDE CF HDD 4 GB for Amiga 600/1200
- RTC for Amiga 1200 or ACA-1220/1232
- ACA-1232 incl. CPU 68EC030/40 MHz and 127+1
MB RAM
- Indivision AGA Mk2CR

I have no experience with the hardware of the A1200 and have of course done some googling and searching in the forum for topics related to installing these components.

I read the sticky about installing the CF-HD and some other posts surrounding the ACA and Indy.

I would however need to be pointed to some good sources of information, because I understand the instructions that come with the equipment can be pretty basic.
The A1200 has not been used and needs to be set up from scratch. Is it recommended to first install the CD HDD and install workbench before adding the other components?

Links and pro-tips are very welcome!
Thanks!

Is the IDE on a cable or clips directly to the motherboard? If it clips directly on, it wont fit with the Indivision AGA Mk2CR

Here is my cfg for the AGA MK2 if you want to try it out, will save you a lot of trouble.

Edit- If my cfg doesn't suit your needs, Novacoder and Retrofan both have alternative cfg's so hunt them down for it.
