Another threaded fork threadless headset thread

I just picked up a 1980s Trek road bike. Full Reynolds 531. The bike was severely neglected, and now I discover the fork is bent. It's a smaller frame, and I have carbon fiber fork with a steel steerer tube. 1" threaded. The steerer on the carbon fork is very long. Long enough that I could cut off the threaded portion and clamp a stem on the remaining portion.

So, all I would need to do this conversion is to get a 1" threadless headset and stem, right? I just want to make sure before I buy. This is what I'm planning on getting:

Stem: http://cgi.ebay.com/1-INCH-THREADLES...item4cf66bc8f6

Any comments, suggestions, etc are welcome. Thanks.
