Ok, an update.
Got my bolts today.
Measured my camber/toe in my apparently uneven garage. Came out to ~-0.1° on the left and about -0.9° on the right. And no, my fat butt wasn't in the car, and I shook everything well to let it settle w/o my weight in the car. The total toe (at ends of my basic tool, which is basically two horizontal bars leaning on the wheels) was about 4/32nds toe-out.

Put in crash bolts. Ended up with about -1.1°/-1.9° L/R camber and about 1/32nds toe-out.

Also, since I loosened the nuts on the steering arms in expectation of needing to adjust them, there's a possibility that alignment has changed by about one faucet between start and finish.

All in all, I'll call it good; and I am surprised that the toe changed that little.

Off to test-drive the thing.
