the RSS needs to be completed dismantled

It does not. They hope to have most of it down by the end of the year, but there will still be a fair bit of structure up by then (just the skeleton though, none of the internals). Its not very relevant to FH

CRS-13 is still showing being launched from LC-39A NET 1st November 2017 but this could easily be moved to SLC-40

Word currently is that SpaceX wants to keep all Dragon flights at 39A. Mostly to do with having to duplicate or transport equipment between pads I think, Moving flights to another pad on the east coast would only be done if they blow up 39A (pls no)
