How to Install New Pistons on Old Connecting Rods?

Attached are pics of one of the pistons. I guess after removal of the clip, I will use my finger to push out the pin. Yes, I will pay close attention to the orientation of the rod and piston, so I assemble them correctly. Thanks for the suggestion.

Tomorrow or Thu I have to go pick up the bored engine block, reworked heads with bronze guides, hardened valve seats, new springs, and parts (rings and bearings) from the machine shop for $1,900; engine disassembled. Surprised by the high cost of this engine rebuild.
