The pickup tube should have about 1/4" clearance to the floor of the oil pan. Take some modeling clay or something like than and stick it to the pickup and then put the pan on with a gasket in place and then press the pan down firmly to check the clearance to the floor of the pan. Too small and you'll cavitate the oil flow.
    Yup. ARP studs.

    I will have to check to see if it came with them or not. I don't remember seeing them.

    You should be able to get the washers from the guys that you got the engine from if they didn't send them with the engine. HKE sent the washers with mine. Standard washers will work, it just will take two of them between the studs and windage tray most likely.

    Yeah, I have a box of stuff I didn't even open yet, so they might be in there.
