I'd still double-check them, especially if there wasn't that much slop then. They sometimes fail quickly.
The box isn't too bad, but the manual is a little short on information and some of the parts are NLA or expensive. You'll also need some special tools (but they aren't too hard to come by). I think you can buy new worms now, but they don't come with the shaft. I got a lot of improvement while keeping the old worm and other NLA parts though, so IMO it's worth doing anyway.
ISTR the book says the bushing needs to be reamed after installation, but mine was a perfect fit without reaming. You'll need a Pitman arm puller to get the drop arm off, but the standard puller I got did not fit properly until I milled the jaws a bit wider. Some threaded rod, nuts & flat washers will work to extract the bushing and seal (together), then to install the bushing. Then you can tap the seal into place the usual way. I left the seal sticking out by 1/8", so the lip would ride on a different place on the shaft and seal better.
After trying other methods, I think a dial indicator is the only way to go when setting the end float. Get a magnetic mount, so you can clamp it onto the tube and have the indicator shaft ride on the steering shaft; then push and pull the drop arm to get the measurement. Add a shim, measure the float, then subtract that thickness (or .001" more if you can't hit it exactly) and reassemble. Of course the adjusting screw has to be backed off completely while making the measurement. Enco usually has a cheap dial indicator and magnetic base on sale for under $25 ($20 right now).

(Side note : Although the prices are similar, IMO Enco has a little more quality control than Harbor Freight. I prefer to get my measuring tools from Enco.)
To set the peg clearance (adjustment screw), turn the shaft with your fingers (no steering wheel or center link attached) and tighten the screw until you can just feel the tight spot where all the clearance is gone. Lock the nut and recheck. On my 3A, the worm was worn badly enough that there were actually two tight spots, one either side of center.
