Rick, sounds like you are good to go. How are the batteries? Did you cycle them good to make sure they work under a load or did you have to replace them? You probably have the old S28 servos? They will work fine too. That engine will work. Sounds like your getting it all lined up. Have a blast with it. You will be ok, just don't turn away when the instructor needs to grab the radio or help move a stick. You can learn that way.
