So I finally got the bike out for a ride this morning. Everything worked fine. I ended up leaving the front derailleur set so it is rotated very slightly tail end towards the frame. That seems to help the middle to small ring shift while on the small cog even with the rear shock locked out. I can cause a problem by waiting until I need to be up on the pedals and smashing hard before I shift. Then the front derailleur just pumps until the load lightens up and then will shift. Overall things worked well. The clutch setup on the rear that is supposed to reduce chain slap seems to do its job. I do notice the drivetrain get noisier faster when dirty then the old 9 speed setup.
