81fj40,will the aqualu windshield frame ( required with their cowl? ) accept the OEM windshield and seal? Are you going paintless or are you just mocking it up first?
I'm mocking everything up first, drilling all the necessary holes, etc, then sending off for paint. I haven't delved into the windshield yet, but my understanding is that the stock glass will not fit the aqualu windshield frame, and either needs to be reshaped or replaced. The cowl comes with a new windshield seal.

Do they offer a template to cut the glass correctly?
Not that I've found; essentially the glass is supposed to be 1/8 inch larger than the frame opening. A template would have been nice, but probably not too difficult to mock up.
I think there's someone here in Seattle that built up an Aqualu cruiser, I should try and track them down and see what they did.

Will you need to install threaded inserts in the top of the rear quarters for the hardtop? Did they address the rounded corners of the 79-83 ambulance doors?
