From a been-there-done-that perspective, Id suggest peeling the plastic sheeting off the windshield and laying newspaper or something porous for the paint to stick to. The first coat will flake off when you bring the spray gun near it on the second pass sending junk all over your wet paint
Funny how you only have tubular A-arms on a stock K and my swap is the opposite. Tubular K with stock A-arms

What cam you going with?
Tell the shop you want the old mount. They're easy to sell because people want a spare set of old ones to put the poly inserts into before installing them
Tip for getting the mounts to line up between the block and K-member: leave all 4 mounts finger tight until all the bolts and both long through bolts are installed. Then torque
They're a bear to get lined up if anything is torqued down
