With the HD in a machine that does have a keyboard and display, install 
a minimal installation -- just enough to boot to runlevel 3 and access 
the network.  If you have dhcp available, that would probably make 
things easier.  Once you have a working installation on the HD, move the 
HD to the other machine, let it boot and then ssh in to a terminal 
session.  From there you should be able to optimize the installation to 
suit your needs, using network-aware tools (up2date/yum/apt/whatever) to 
install new packages as required.
