If you're not in a bind and have time in advance, I'd recommend the "Rodders" pads from Roddison Motorsport over the EBC Yellow Stuff, they're a similar price.
I wouldn't get rid of my power steering, I like it too much! The non-power steering cars also have a slower rack so ideally you want to "de-power" the power steering rack which is a PITA. Power steering comes in handy when crossed up out of junctions behaving like a total hooligan, so it's staying in for me.
Rolling the arches won't affect the external profile massively, the respray is because some people don't heat the arch up first with a heat gun, and are quite aggressive, which cracks the paint. If you heat the arch up consistently and are slow and smooth with the roller, there shouldn't be any issues.

@NurseHolliday Charcoal canister removed last night but AC doesn't work so don't think I'll miss it too much. I've come to the conclusion a convertible in England is a suitable candidate if ever there was one. Funny you mention power steering, before buying my Eunos I read a lot about whether it's a positive or negative but glad I have it as the car will spend minimal time on track in reality. Having said that do love the idea of minimising all parasitic draws.
Sounds like a right adventure you're not likely to forget in a hurry. Glad the shakedown was useful and you've got a good idea of what needs further improvement. Good to hear positive reviews on EBC Yellow Stuff too, got these on my list for next year before any track action.
Apologies for the novice question, but will rolling the arches affect the external profile? Had always presumed it was a minor mod but think I read somewhere respraying after rolling the arches can be required.
