C/20 to 5 bolt conversion - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm starting my lowering project. I have a '71 C/20 LWB that when finished will have a 4/6 drop and 5 bolt wheels. I've decided to use a '77 Suburban as a donor. All the needed parts have been removed and the rest has been sent to the melting pot. I'm doing an A-arm swap as well as adding the donors power steering.
First question; Should I be paying any attention to the shims, either on the truck as I tear off the original suspension or from the donor?
