My K3 is also from 2010, April as I recall. I recently did the component mods you mentioned except for the KREF3 and KPOD resistors. Also I added the general coverage BPF board with 472 kHz in mind. I added the new synthesizer as soon as it came out. It all went very well and only took a few hours, stretching it out to prolong the fun of getting my fingers into my factory built K3. :-)

Add to your list the suggested thermal pads under the LPA transistors. These are recommended if you do a lot of 100% duty cycle transmitting. 

Good luck & 73,
Brian, K0DTJ
