Do you have a lowes anywhere near you?
I would put an extra long hose splced on to good big shop vac and vac out all the left over remnants, do all your wiring unless sheetrock/plaster-lathe has to go for any reason. Finish all wire runs and lay down a solid sheet of 4 mill plastic or heavier if you can get it. Caulk all seams and wire or plumbing holes or any other penetrations.
Get thickest rolls of Roxul from lowes get widest and crosshatch it. Iffirst course is east and west put second layer north and south and laid tight. Then 4 to 6 inches of roxul blow in to seal cracks
Might want to make sure of good ventilation like soffit continus and ridge vent
You will be happy every time you look that way.
I had one or two with sag in the middle. I put a strong back down each side and gave short jacks 1 turn every other day till it was straight as a string. Did this all in heat of summer when it was almost more than 120 degrees and flexable
