Success!
plugged in the Daytona Twin Tec ignition module and coil, mounted the carb, hooked up the choke... and... it runs!
Still need to get a throttle cable and mount the tank, etc, but it works.
Very relieved!
Going to have to use the dented tank until I can get my EFI tank modified. Not looking forward to that.

Rather than starting a new thread, thought I'd throw some updates in and sort it all out later if I decide to do a build thread.. Front end is about done, I decided to cut the axle down and drill a hole for the speedo drive. Actually used a smaller one from a narrow glide and mock's up pretty nicely. I'll give a full report after some miles, but I see no reason for it to have an issue. The 1" axle just needed a trim to 3/4" on the end..

I also did the rear swing arm.. Everyone who has done it seems to be doing so with a rear wheel in mind... Well, for a definitive answer, the rear swing arm will not work with the original belt and pulley.. Couple things to remember, the new SA will take a 1" axle. Since you need the axle, you will need a wheel and pulley. This also requires a belt. So, while there, may as well go 1-1/8".. I used the Motorcycle Metal kit, pretty easy to do, just labor intensive on the belt side.. A socked and 1/2" extension and ball joint press were all the extra tools I needed.. Here's a few of what I've done so far..

Not sure what I need to do with my tank. I removed the fuel lines; what do I do now?
Looks like this may be it?

Just plug one hole and put an adapter in the other?
My tank is from a 2001; running a different tank in the meantime.

Cool - Thanks. I was concerned about the raised part inside the tank; I thought that needed to be removed.

Nah, that's the fitting the adapter screws into.. In the grand scheme of things, its not that large and wont affect the fuel supply.. You're good..
