Shimano crank compatibility

I presently have a 10spd Ultegra setup (Sti shifters, chain and cassette) with a FC6503 crank from the older 9spd setup I used to have. If I replace the crank and BB with an FC6603, because of the outboard bearings are there going to be other issues to deal with (chain line, incompatible FD, etc.)? Thanks for any help.

Probably not.

But why do you want to replace it?
