Well, with the pistons out obviously the rods won't be in your way. I would drape a damp towel over the crank. This will hold whatever metal particles may fall. Once honed, I would use a shop vacuum in the bores and all around. Then wipe the bores down with a fresh and clean wash cloth that is damp and has a little dish soap in it. After the bores wipe the rod journals on the crank down to make sure. Then wipe a thin layer of engine oil on the bores and journals. Even though you know the crank is .020 under you really should still plasti gauge those rod bearings to make sure you don't get them too tight.
I should have listened to your sound advice.
