I recently purchased a set of 1.7 Liter pistons and cylinders for my 72 914 Porsche from AA performance. I noticed that the rings are installed and the pistons are in the cylinders. Is it necessary to remove the pistons to configure the ring spacing or is it already done? Can anyonre tell me how they spaced the ring gaps around the piston? In the old days compression and oil ring gap would be alternating in the 9 and 3 o'clock position.thanks

Absolutely! Some guy in a factory thousands of miles away doesn't really care about your car. You do. You owe it to yourself to make sure the ring gaps are OK and the parts are clean so you don't wind up with a dead motor the third time you fire it up.
