You're right about rotation. I never transfer while rotating because the LT doesn't have through spindle chuck air blow so it's highly likely bits of swarf will get caught between the part and jaws if the chuck is spinning. Whereas if it's stopped and the operator has just blown off the part with air gun the part and the right chuck jaws stay clean. Sync rotation on transfer is mainly to show off to losers who have no idea what is going on (i.e. The boss and his buddies and/or wannabe random white collar morons or suited myopic fatcats who are being toured around the factory) Sync rotation on tranfser is really only needed if you are clamping the part then parting it off. Even then you can do the transfer and clamp without having the spindle rotating which will definitely minimize bits of swarf getting caught on the right chuck jaws and causing mis-location and runout issues.

FYI a bar feeder isn't needed on an LT. Both chucks can travel in Z so the right chuck can pull the part, clamp then part off. Anyway here's some code for a LT25-M with added comments. It should work fine on any 90's LT.

I've got air blow on a flimsy piece of pipe that hangs off the top of the chuck housing using M88/M89/M288/M289 but it's useless IMO. I need through chuck air blow and I don't have it. I know for sure because apart from it not being on the datacard, we've had this piece of crap completely apart many times repairing just about everything on it at one time or another and the back of the chuck draw tube is solid. There's no air blow coming into it. Anyway for me it doesn't matter.

The management ran the company into the ground, wasting millions of dollars on 3x Multus and a Macturn and several robots that basically run at about 20% (if they run at all) causing huge losses, plus millions of dollars wasted on numerous other things. So much is the loss that they are closing down the factory at the end of June next year then abandoning everything and cutting all of the machines in half so no one else can get them. So having through chuck air blow doesn't really matter now;-).
