Default crock pot method of cleaning

I will not be redundant as there are already several articles on this subject, however, most were a little short on what to do after the engines comes out of the crock pot after a day or so.

I have done the customary stuff to get the engine ready to be "crock potted" with prestone antifreeze. No, I will not use the crock pot again. Yes, the area will be well ventilated.
ST 90:
Carb removed,
cylinder head removed (with gasket)
back plate removed (will not be put in crock pot because of gasket and it's not that dirty)

I will place on crock pot of prestone for 16 hours or so on medium/low. Once I'm done and pull it out I believe I am supossed to:
Rinse with water.
Let engine completely dry (I'm guessing 24 hours or so.
Reassemble engine and oil well with after run engine oil.
Please let me know if this is correct.
