There you go. Start as if it's a floater, string it up temporarily, get your angle set, mark it, then glue it on. Hmm. If you put a strap jack or strap button at the middle of the tail, you could attach your temporary tailpiece there...

One Idea here...looking at my commercial acoustic. (i know I will mess up the part names) The integrated bridge/tail/anchor attached to the belly is still 2 pieces, the hardwood anchor/tail and a thin sliver of bone/synthetic sitting in a groove routed in the forward half.

So, don't rout the groove till you have the intonation set.  use a substitute bridge that can sit on the forward half of the tail/anchor and you can shift that till the angle is right, mark it, then route the groove and put your real bridge in place.
