I have several patches of rust on the cylinder walls and I would like to avoid reboring the cylinders, if possible. Is there a rust remover out there which can remove rust without harming the metal or what is the best way to handle this problem? Thanks for your help.

To me, your first answer is best, if the motor is standard bore now, why not punch it 0.30 over and buy a set of pistons. The bottom line is do what you think needs doing after the involvement of your local machine shop. If you fire it up afterwords and you don't like the way it runs (or smokes) that's a personal problem. Sorry if I'm being mean but, to me, that's the bottom line. Back in the day I put together plenty of small block chevys (for less than $100) that didn't last more than 10 calendar days but did win enough money to result in a a net profit for me. By the time they came apart and trashed the crank or block, some of them were total money losers but, generally speaking, I've never seen a small block chevy that couldn't survive long enough to break even.
