Default Block Prep for Head Gasket

Ok, done H.G. jobs many times on iron, but this is my first all aluminum undertaking. Heads are being dropped off Monday at speed shop.
Would like some tips on block prep, please.

Plastic scraper, acetone, carb cleaner, MEK, and elbow grease. Don't use any abrasive on the block.

I did the same thing in my driveway this Summer and it worked out fine. You have to peel off everything to get to those heads.
