Most of the time the block deck does not need to be surfaced. Surfaceing the block is a rather big job, naturally all the studs need to be removed (not an easy task) and after the deck has been surfaced the sleeve counter bore will have to be bored deeper to maintain the correct sleeve protrusion above the block.
I would not be worried about surfaceing the head for the third time unless it has previously been shaved down to gain more compression. Surfaceing usually removes a few thousandths of an inch, depending on how bad the head is warped.
Most overhaul kits come with connecting rod bushings, get your shop to install the new bushings and then ream/hone them to the correct size.
