The fingerings you wrote in yourself looks fine.  I think...

It pretty much looks like what I would do. But just use a touch of pedal and instead of playing that A minor arpeggio 4-3-2-1 4-3-2-1 don't even bother trying to connect or be legato from the previous B-flat minor arpeggio. Just let go at the top, use 5 on the high F and then use 5 on the E immediately after. It will make your life a whole lot easier and I don't think anyone will be able to tell. Then you can use the more comfortable 5-4-2-1 fingering for that A minor arpeggio. The other way is just needlessly difficult.
