Given that lining up on the sun would be relatively easy (Just align the scope by watching the OTA's shadow on the ground) I would be very tempted to remove any finders or guidescopes for the duration. I think a right angle diagonal is also a good thing as that way you are not facing towards the sun while observing.
I would love to do some solar observing myself but I have 3 year old son to worry about, he has a little tabletop dob that he is actually beginning to use (Bought so I can hopefully observe in relative peace) and I do not want him to even think about pointing it at the sun!
