If you haven't done already, get some sort of heat shield between the catalytic converter and the bodywork. You may find you smell burning carpet otherwise.
I have got some but they need a refresh, they are so hard to find in good condition.

I doubt they are asbestos as it was banned in the 80’s, they are definitely a fibre like material and very fragile.
