Don't worry about the steering being locked, won't bother a thing. Its done all the time with older cars. As far as auxiliary lights go they are not needed.

Got on the ground one time with new car to hook safety chains but I soon fixed that. Learn how to use your straps correctly and you're good to go.
The lights aren't legally needed but the dolly lights on the fender are halfway up the side of the car and maybe 2 ft off the ground, when your following a dolly you don't have to move to far left or right to have the car blocking them. I would rather spend the 3 minutes hooking them up than be rear ended and ruin my vacation, my car, my RV and my dolly.
