Default Installing coilovers and struts, any advice?

I have a set of coilovers and I am going to be buying some new struts for the front (for now). Any advice on the installation? My car is a '91 HF and it is from Massachussets so I am almost positive there is going to be some rusted/seized bolts down there. I've read through my helms and it seems pretty straightforward replacing the whole damper up front. I'm a little worried about the rear since I'm going to be reusing my stock shocks (for now). I've read it's easiest to take out the whole damper and the LCAs, then push the bushings out and put new ones in. I'm planning on getting some ES rear LCA bushings and some new rear LCA bolts. I'm also going to get longer bolts and washers for the DIY camber kit...

Anything else you can recommend? Thanks!! This will be my first coilover install let alone suspension install.
