Convert to Single Speed with a Front Freewheel?

Hey everyone, I've got a question that I upon searching I didn't really find any sort of information on, so here I am.

I've got an old Panasonic 10 speed, that I'm interested into turning into a single speed. Thing is, it has the Shimano Front Freewheel System going on. How can this help/hinder my efforts? Would I be better off just replacing the bottom bracket entirely?

I've never done a single speed conversion before, but it would seem that it would make it easier to do, since I wouldn't have to worry about a rear freewheel, I could just have a fixed gear on the back wheel. Of course I could be entirely wrong.

So please, illuminate me!
