On one of my units, the trailing coupler is mounted directly to the truck pad - no spring no swivel. I'll have broad curves so i don't think the couple swing will be an issue; the truck will do that.
For the leading coupler, I used one of the AM mounting pads, installed the 802 in its box, and screwed onto the chassis. There's a screw hole already there. I tapped it just in case with a 2-56. The coupler glad hand was removed. At this point in time the unit won't be handling cars on the nose end. I've used multple methods of mounting so if you'd like to see them, I can bring my units to Dayton.
