Finally got the 72' on bags....have some questions!

Ok so I finished mounting all my bags and brackets today on my 72' Short-Fleet. I must say, this truck sits a lot lower than I expected but its damn nice and I can't wait to get it finished
I ended up using AirRide Technologies front and rear brackets and Firestone 2500's in front and 2600's in back. I dont have drop spindles or a notch at this time, maybe in the future. Now when it comes to plumbing my system is where my questions come;
*As for valves I think I'm going to run 6 SMC 3/8 valves and do a 3 way system that would control the front bags individually and the rear bags together.
*I have an air tank already thats either a 5 or 6 gallon and I'm going to run a Viair 450c Compressor.

Heres my questions...

*How hard is it to mount/plumb/wire all the valves and compressor? Is it pretty straight forward or do you have to be an electrician to get it right?
*Where should I mount my valves and such?
*I plan on re-using my stock Track-bar and cutting it and welding it to the right length. How long does it need to be correct?

All help is appreciated and I will have pictures of my progress tomorrow!

Thanks,

Kenny
