My stock anti rattle clips in back are long gone, I never noticed honestly. My speedbleeders were also getting a little corroded and worn so I installed Earl's bleeders this time. These are the one with the external spring and check valve. I haven't done a bleed yet so who knows. The russell type ones always bugged me because they'd always find a way to pull air in through the threads no matter despite trying to seal them. The Earl's in theory prevent that.
The rear pads are pretty small.
I don't believe the 89 has any anti rattle clips in the back. They are held down by a spring on the top of the pad. The box had some thin H shaped piece of metal with the pads but I couldn't figure out what it was for. Maybe cross platforms? The old ones didn't have it so neither do the new ones.
As far as the speedbleeders, you can buy extra sealant on the website, but I can't figure it's any better than using something like ARP or whatever you have laying around once it's time to replace the sealant on the threads.
