If you're going to use "(3)r6c8 - r6c3|r8c8", then you selectively ignored -r6c4 -- which would prevent your final conclusion of "= r6c4". What I see:

Why do it at all?
From the man who put AICs on the map:
Alternating Inference Chains

Alternating Inference Chains
Definitions
Alternating Inference Chain (AIC) is a chain which starts with an endpoint candidate which has a strong inference on the next candidate, which has a weak inference on the next candidate, which has a strong inference on the next candidate, and so on alternating weak and strong inferences until it ends with a strong inference on the final candidate at the other endpoint. The nodes of an AIC are really just the candidate premises themselves.
