Struts keep the car from bouncing up and down, along with slowing the up and down movement. Springs seldom wear out, but they do break so be watchful with that. New struts should keep the car from 'nose diving' when stopping.

If you were replacing the struts with OEM, then scribing the original mount before removing would be helpful. In your case, don't worry about it. There is very little play in the strut mount holes and you will be able to drive to an alignment shop with out problems. The car might pull slightly, but any Boston car should be aligned annually anyway.
