Doing both control arms probably does not require an alignment, unless you had it aligned with worn bushings already.

Getting a head from a junk yard is just as much work as removing yours and getting it refurbished. Lots of new bolts and RTV to put the 3 pieces back together. Quite a lengthy job.

When I did my compressor clutch, I first measured the gap with a feeler gauge. It was around .040 and should have been closer to .020. The thickness of the bread clip is about .020-.015, so that becomes perfect. My car was missing the splash shield/air guide, so sliding under and looking at the clutch was very easy. The clutch pushes in quite easily at each post.

You perception of 'harder' to maintain speed might just be a balky and hard to move throttle cable. My cable touched the hood and created a small rusty hole in the seathing, I guess the cable itself also got a little rusty.
