Karl,first of all,welcome to the asylum,I mean forum! You'll understand what I mean after a few cooks.
As far as cooking on the WSM goes,put whatever takes longer,from your graph,the chicken,on first. Then,put the lamb on in time to finish at the same time.
I might advise to bump up your temps a bit for the chicken. At a lower temp,the skin will probably turn out rubbery and not very good. You can still get a smoky flavor at a higher temp.
And remember,no pictures,it didn't happen! :D
 
Yes, put the chicken on first on the lower grate and add the lamb an hour or so later. Also, I know you were probably just copy/pasting to show the temps and time, but wanted to say that the vent percentages are not an absolute....just adjust them as you go along to maintain your temps in the 225-250 range.

Also, temp the chicken and pull at 165 - 170 in breast - thigh.

keep us posted and post pics to make tony r happy!
 
Thanks guys a couple of hours cooking left, photos have been taken more will be taken when done.
Thats if i sober up ! The WSM allows you to drink so much beer ;).
