70 Duster Front End Rebuild Help

Well I would be broke and probably unemployed if I did this for a living. The deconstruction of my front suspension is moving in the right direction. Between the mess I'm making with tools all over the place and the time its taking me but at least I'm pretty close to having it apart. Ball Joints were busting my balls but got the last 3 broke apart tonight. Control Arm removal is next. I ordered an idler arm and I just found out its on back order. I am not relacing the pitman arm cause that side of my steering felt tight. Should I just bite the bullet and replace it? I really don't see the reason other than the fact thats all going to be apart.
