Sounds like a good starting plan. I would probably start with the grill block and then move on to the belly pan. The other way around will yield the same results in the end, but I imagine the grill block will have a better effect by itself. The belly pan will have a better impact when you have the grill blocked off, forcing the air to go somewhere else (e.g. underneath the car). I'm not sure how many points your plan will get you, maybe NeilBlanchard can help with that.

No problem! I forgot to post the link so you can mess around with it:
Aero Template
I also found a pic with the spoiler I was talking about. It's not the best photo since it's not a true profile, but you can get the basic idea. Notice how the spoiler helps fill the void and "touch" the line of the template (it probably would if the photo was correct)? Depending on how the spoiler actually works, this might help with the template, but hurt in terms of increasing down force at the expense of drag. I'm sure NeilBlanchard or AeroHead would be able to help in that department.
EDIT: Forgot to add in the pic!
