good to have a plan. check some posts on here about seat choice, firewall reworks etc. buckets with headrests may move the seat further forward than you want or leave the seat at an uncomfortable angle due to the limited space behind the seat for the tall seat.
if you get to the drawing stage maybe figure out how much the firewall will need to go back and then mock that up with cardboard, see what kind of interior space you have left
the best would be to draw out a stock scenario and then draw out you rendition of the modified scenario. then overlay them and see how it all fits.
yeah, I know, I can't draw either. lo.
