I wouldn't stress - a minor ride height change (1/2" or less) is not going to make a massive difference in toe, and it looks like you're already familiar with how to handle that. Using the alignment settings from an optimal FWD setup on an AWD setup is going to be much more of a learning curve than any minor weight-jacking you're going to have from a slight nose-up or nose-down stance; you'll have a lot more rotation control than you had previously and will be able to dial it in by feel and loud pedal adjustments to help with weight transfer, and you can then play with corner-weighting and all that fun later - managing initial understeer to exit oversteer is going to require a much bigger adjustment to the nut behind the wheel than any fastener or setting on the car.
