Sounds like a good plan Sid, I don't know if you've seen my Pontiac Astre thread I have a pro touring project I am working on with similar goals.
Keep us updated with progress reports and pics when you can. Mostly drag racers here but theres growing number of us trying to make it turn left and right too

I'm planning one of those Connect and Cruise combos for my project. Leaning on the 480hp version with the 6 spd auto.
Don't forget you need to buy the controller and stuff too. Accessory drive will probably need to be rearranged/swapped to have the power steering and alternator on top.
Looking awesome!
