First things first, as you said. What frame are you going to build up, and what is the width of the BB shell, and has the BB shell ever had any major re-working? What is the BB that you took out of the frame, if you did remove one? The first-gen Chorus double uses the Campagnolo 111 mm Centaur cartridge BB, and with this in British threading it fits a (in my case) 1984 Trek frame (BB shell width 68 mm) perfectly. If you have an Italian threaded frame (70 mm BB shell width), a Campagnolo 111 mm Centaur cartridge BB in Italian threading should be perfect.
I would determine what BB shell you have, then spend time searching for the appropriate Campagnolo BB cartridge. Do not mess around with much else, it is not necessary and there are a lot ways mistakes can be made.
