I made some measurements, and found that only the single row spacer setup will actually fit, so that's what I put in. The cover went on easily. I bolted up the flywheel and unlocked crank and cams, pulled ignition fuse, and turned over the engine with starter. The squeak is still there!

I am considering buttoning up the whole car and just driving it around a bit. If something got a little off from hammering on the IMS, it may go back with a little driving. I will stop if the noise worsens.
