Yes you would.

all right ..enjoy your trip !

understanding and mastering it technically is part of the fun.

and true ...there are some people ( not you ) the only care that it works..
they are not actually interested in how to accomplish that technically,
or what actually made something work again .  ..
they only care that it's working.
  But then they are not as well equipped when something does go wrong
either.

be careful of course..
since you are driving a relatively untried whole new set of parts ...
perhaps a couple hour local shake down run is a good idea.
It's just amazing how many things ..after they are 'done' ...need more
yet, quite often.
I find that all the time..
I spend as much time fine tuning as I do on the repair job itself, quite
often.
it's all in the details.
