Good breakdown Allen. Although I did a few things differently. I didn't not disconect all the hoses from the water pump. I removed the upper hose and the two hoses for the heater core then just laid it to the side. I also didnt remove the radiator. I tilted it to the side and secured it with a bungee since I didnt have any help. I also removed my rockers and pushrods. Mainly cause I wanted to check all my pushrods, since I had a spare set with me, while I was in there. But since you arent changing springs, leaving the pushrods and rockers in place, once you unbolt them, will save you some time.
