Yes. Only disconnect the fuel supply pipe from the rail at its joint above the plastic manifold chamber next to the battery. The pipe can then be swung upwards into a vertical position without disturbing the connection further upstream beside the LH bank. This is the procedure quoted by MG Rover in RAVE.

... should the fuel rails be removed from the alloy inlet manifolds ...

The fuel rails are connected to the injectors. I separated this joint rather than attempting to remove the injectors as the manual states. There's a clip to slide off on each injector, then the rail can be lifted whilst overcoming the resistance of a small 'O' ring. If you're careful, these 'O' rings do not need to be renewed.
Regarding your other question, I have sent you a PM.

Maybe you had trapped air. The main thing is that you've made progress without major work.
