It looks like you can install more that the available space if you install from cargo

The ship in question had

| |
| Install Space: 4900/5250 |

so I should have been able to install 14 cryopod but


>TU 300: Install Item {129} {30}
Installation reduced Integrity to 90.9%.
30 Cryo Pods (129) installed from cargo.
Total TU cost for this action is 9

>TU 291: Deliver {82} {129} {30} {} {Install - No}
Error - You had none of that item.
Total TU cost for this action is 10

And with my pick up order, thrust engines and sensor get dump

>TU 281: Pickup {82} {420} {80} {} {Install - No}
Warning - Insufficient space, quantity reduced to 50.
You picked up 50 Structural Modules (420) from DTR Onyx (82).
Dumping excess items into DTR Onyx (82):
14 Thrust Engines (160).
1 Sensor (103).
Total TU cost for this action is 9

And results in

>TU 272: Move to Starbase {82683} {Dock - No}
Ship is incapable of orbiting.
