So will there be problem w/ the fact that the front derailleur is a bottom-pull? As such, I kinda need to route it under the bottome bracket, don't I?
Most road front derailleurs of that vintage were bottom pull, so you have a pretty common configuration.
I have an early '80s Nishiki Century that I upgraded to 700C wheels and current components and cabling the new FD was a challenge. This was all discussed, in detail, in an earlier thread:

There was an extended discussion of a problem similar to yours and I think reading that thread might answer your questions. I posted up a bunch of pictures of my solution. I'm not going to re-hash that whole discussion. I hope there is something there that will help you. Good luck.
