Musings from the shop

Sucks that you seem to have gotten the short end of the stick in this situation. I've been to Automotive Supply for things before and have never been impressed. After reading this, I'll make sure that no one I know will ever go there. Not acceptable. I don't think you should have needed to pay for any of that work. If anything, it seems like they should owe you.
I understand your unique situation and I'd just go with whatever feels best. Sounds like you've already made up your mind and I'd roll with it. Rebuild it later (if needed) when you don't have the opportunities that you do now.

Mine made it from the engine stand to the hoist. And then to the floor

Got the wiring all hooked up today. Turned the car on and heard that annoying door buzzer for the first time in months. All of the indicator lights and what-not seem to be functioning properly. The previous owner had run new wiring for the old fuel pump, but once I found the ground that wasn't connected, the original wiring worked fine. I jumpered the relay and ran the pump to flushed out the fuel line. Everything's looking good so far. I've still got some things I need to do, but if everything continues to go well I could be firing the car up tomorrow. Super stoked.

Haven't found the source of the leak yet, but it's something on the lower front of the engine.
I wanted to see if the awful exhaust note was because of the muffler, or the long straight pipe between the muffler and the header, so I did what any teenager would do. Pulled the muffler off and went for a spin. Still sounds like crap. Lot's of crackly, raspy things happening. Will probably put the cat back in, or maybe a glasspack, depending on which looks easier.
