35 creates problems as stated, add modifying the wishbone to the list.
Basically, it’s not a direct swap.

If you use a 32-34 axle, I suggest using the spindles as well.
There’s not much room for the tie rod to clear the front crossmember and pan if you keep the model A spindles.
Although they can work, torching and bending the steering arms has to be just right.
Just my opinion.
