Yes you'll have to take the cap off, or cut the splashwell off. Mine's just like yours and I just chopped the whole splashwell off of it, and will just have to join the 2 pieces back together later when done. When you put the new transom in, you can just use full size pieces of plywood, instead of cutting it up like they originally did. Much easier and stronger that way.

ditto that.

Re: '73 Chrysler Sport Satellite

Reality check here.... Is this the boat you want to keep for along time? No matter what you do that boat will never be worth more than $1500 tops. That's the price of the motor and the trailer and the boat is free. I would guess that to get that boat in good condition is going to cost upwards of $1000. I am all for rebuilding boats knowing that you will never get your money back because it's fun. But when you are done you have to be able to enjoy the boat. If this is the boat for you then go for it. If you aren't completly happy with the boat, keep the motor and sell the boat and trailer for $300 and look for a good project.
