MG MGA - replacing rear shocks

Looking to replace the rear shocks with a set that I had rebuilt by Worldwide, having not done this in the past I am wondering what i should expect, any tricks or guidance or any additional parts i may need other than just the shocks???

Yes. Jack up under the frame, not the spring to remove the wheel. The shock can be more easily lowered this way and you have more hand room.
May have trouble loosening the taper joints on the drop arms.
Access also via the battery cover.

Hardest part is, likely, to get the old ones off. You may need an impact-wrench as there is little room to swing a buster-bar unless you have a lift.
