If you have solar panels available your roof is pretty flat and an excellent way to cancel out your alternator during the day(and maybe eventually add a few batteries and straight up delete it).
Rear wheel skirts would definitely benefit.

That's a van van - he said model year 80. Caravan came about 1984.
Slant six, awesome. Be warned, if you're the kinda guy who doesn't get rid of something until it dies, you may have made a lifelong commitment.
If you're never doing long trips, you could think about switching out the big original tank with a new, smaller one. If you're never on the road for long, then having to fill up more often may be worth it to never have to carry that full tank. That could save you over 100lbs.
Whoever said bellypan, seconded - but you've got the driveshaft to contend with. Maybe you could form up a pan with a trough for the driveshaft. If that interferes with some of the Magnus effect on the driveshaft, then that's not a bad thing either.
How hard would it be to fit up the six with a TBI?
