need to remove solenoid when installing OD trans?

Hi guys, in a few weeks I hope to have my engine finished, and in it will go with the (new to me) OD trans.
I remember reading in the shop manual that the OD solenoid should be removed before removing/installing the trans.
Do I really need to do this? I'd rather leave in on and not mess with taking it out.
I plan on puting the engine and trans together outside the vehicle and dropping the whole thing in as a unit.
It's a 53 clipper with 327.
Thanks for the advice.
