Hi John, 
 I just did this job on my '73 and what a differance! No more creeks and groans.
 And the handling is much better. I put the upper A-arm zerks on the top and the
 lower A-arm zerks on the bottem after making sure they were positioned properly
 for accessability and not hitting the brackets. I also installed zerks to the ball
 joints and tie rod ends along with new boots.  Like Mike says just clean everything
 up and apply Napa antiseize (messy stuff). If your nylocs are still good then 
 just snug up the pivot bolts. The anti seize worked so well I didn't grease the
 bushings. In hind sight I probably wouldn't install the zerks in the A-arms. But if 
 they start making noise in the future I have the option to grease or reapply the 
 antiseize.
 Have fun , the results really make the effort worth it!
