To be extra extra safe...
You sound happy, just some advice based on own painful experience:
Expose the decal under the sun for a day or 2 - this will reduce any yellowing
Test a small piece (eg the brand/label) in water and ensure it does not explode as if hit by a photon torpedo - which old decals tend to do. If so - tape decal to a flat surface and spray clear over - then cut to shape - this holds the 'film' together. You tape it to a flat surface because as paper absorb moisture it will typically curl, and you don't want your decal to curl from clear and dry curly. Worst case if paint pools, the solvent in the paint may even attack the decal.
Personally I would spray the decal with clear regardless - better safe than sorry.
Glue may be deteriorated over time so you'd might have to wash off the residue (because old glue are not clear) then use decal set as alternative.
