Sounds like you are doing away with the clutch & coupling the transmission shaft directly to the motor shaft .

Will you have some sort of " kill switch " to remove power from the motor , for neutral & gear shifts ?

As far as vacuum booster for brakes . If you employ an electric vacuum pump , I would think the larger the vacuum reservoir , the better ? With a check valve between the vacuum pump and the rest of the system ?

I think you said a lead acid 12 VDC battery for the field circuit ? That would work to power the rest of the car's " standard " electrical system .

If you have enough room , you could even mount a pulley on the " back " end of the motor & use a belt to spin the original alternator . Hook up the stock wiring harness .

Do you plan to use 240 VAC to power the charging device ? 120 VAC would be more convenient , but a 240 VAC input would probably give a faster charge ?

God bless
