The sticking idle could also be the decel valve. They are adjustable. There is a jam nut around the fitting where the small hose hooks. Loosen that, and you can screw that small fitting in and out. That should change the vacuum level that the valve opens and shuts.

It is well worth checking the throttle linkage first, though! If that isn't the problem, you can check the DV by pulling the hose from it to the pipe before the throttle plate off of that pipe. Then check for air getting sucked in. If air gets sucked in while the idle is "stuck", and stops when the idle starts going down, then your decel valve is causing the problem.

On the bronze pedal bushings--buy another roll pin. At least in the past, the ones included in the Weltmeister bushing kit were of poor quality and failed pretty frequently soon after installation. They may be better now--or they may not. I'd get another roll pin and use it just to be on the safe side.
