As a qualified plumber can I install a new combi boiler the wet side and just have a gas safe engineer install the gas and the flue

Gas Safe engineer needs to hang the boiler on the wall to satisfy themselves that the fixings are good - they're taking responsibility, after all. Could always get them to do that and the flue in one visit, then connect the gas and commission the boiler once the wet side is done. Whether you can find anyone actually interested in doing that is a different matter. Who would take responsibility if the boiler failed at a later date due to system debris, for example? Technically that's on the installer too, as they have to sign the benchmark to say that the system has been correctly flushed and protected.
 
As mentioned you will struggle to find gas engineers happy to sign off a boiler where a lot of the work was not done by them and rightly so as on paper they are responsible.

So if I just leave the pipework next to the boiler and get them to fit the boiler and connect up then commission the system there should be no problem with that, all good

But make sure the system is clean.
Powerflush if necessary (y)
