congratulations- you have almost finished your work.
> My goal is to install 7.1 onto a SCSI drive.
Do you have a PFG with the MacWorks II+ PRO option? System 7.1 (or 7.5) will only run with the "PRO" option as far as I know. But you can run System 6.07 or 6.08 first- try to format your hard disk with system 6 first. If you don't like that, you can try System 7.0.1- that should also work with a lower level of the PFG.
Second problem: You need more than 1MB of total memory if you wish to install System 7.1 ! 4MB memory minimum are highly recommended! I have 10 MB total memory in my Lisa: 2 MB with a SUNREM 2 MB memory card and 8 MB in my Accelerator 18. I'm currently running System 7.1 Update 3.0 with no problems- even System 7.5 is working fine with the Lisa!
Do you have a 2MB Lisa memory card or an Accelerator 18 or 12 with extra
memory?
You can build your own 2 MB memory expansion- James Mac Phail has described
the necessary modification of an original 512KB memory board.
You need 72 51256- (150 ns or faster) memory chips and a few extra chips
to handle the extra address lines.

If you have no QuickBoot, you must always start your Mac environment with
your MacWorks II+ Floppy or you can install the Mac Works II + on a Profile
or a Widget (or a SUN 20 hard disk)- the MacWorks II + installer
automatically recognizes any connected parallel hard disk.
After loading the MacWorksII+ environment, you can decide from which drive
you like to boot- SCSI or parallel.

How did you connect your Conner hard disk to the Lisa SCSI card? Have you properly terminated your Conner hard disk? Perhaps the hard disk has internal terminators- are they present?

What kind of error?
Do you get a "Sad Mac" ?
Which error code appears?

Sounds like a termination problem.....

The hard disk driver from OS 9 is too big (SCSI manager 4.3) for the Mac
Plus ROM.... I have had some problems with OS9 formatted hard disks on my
original Mac Plus.
And only HFS is supported by MacWorksII +
Avoid HFS+ (first introduced with Mac OS 8.1)
I hope this helps you further,
