When you dismantle it again to correct the globe valve position being before the safety valve, you might want to consider installing a union joint or three to ease future maintenance and modifications.  ;c)

This is a good idea.  I put one on the water pump which made removal very easy. Putting a union joint at the steam pipe on top of the boiler before the SV, and one near the end of the steam line would definately be a good thing.   Measurements will be tricky to have it match up to what is current, though.
