I am glad you are coming to that solution. You will be happier in the long run.
You can also still use FC suspension bits. Weld the upper strut mount a few inched lower than stock and the shorter strut will not be a problem. A pair of tubular lower A arms using the FC lower ball joint would be a piece of cake. Simple plate style engine mount, if done correctly it could serve the mount the rack as well.
Could be a sick car.
