The first thing that comes to mind is how you want to use pieces of the 944 body to mount the suspension. Although this is feasible it would be dangerous. Look at the way 55OVAL did his, a tube chassis support grafted to the Super's chassis. Those thin pieces of body metal used in sections will not be strong and flex, also the welds will get weak. Sure it would probably all line up and work to mount it but the first drive it would twist and bend up like a coke can.
Second, why would you alter the Super chassis to use the 944 control arms when the 944 spindle will bolt (with a Kerscher balljoint) to the Super control arm. The 944 struts will not be good, springs are too big and heavy and you should not reposition the mounting points other than factory because that would seriously alter the suspension geometry.
In conclusion, look at the 55OVAL project real good. He done it right and is a good guideline. You will have to build a front "cage" for the front suspension, and a full roll body roll cage is optional. Once this is done lower the body on the car and make clearance cuts. Make sure to measure everything before hand and know the limits and dimensions of what you're working with, difficult job but (as 55OVAL has proven) not impossible.
I have attached a picture of a Super chassis that is used for a kit car that has a "cage" like I referred to here.
