This looks like a cool project. Sturmey hubs are generally spaced to 120mm, so unless your rear dropouts are spaced to 120 you'll probably need to have them taken in and realigned - so you know it will be symmetrical.
Keep us updated on the build progress. I love the idea of building up an old frame with a 3 or 5 speed vintage hub.
