Not sure how you are assembling it, but when I build templates to hand off I will just Precomp with leave attributes on. This gives me the final look in the main comp and the raw source in a Precomp. If needed I also add guides in the Precomp to mark extremes and boundaries and such. Text layers (set to guide layers) with notes and directions.
