Electronic Ignition without Dizzy Spinner?

In theory, the entire V could be emptied out, incl. pedastal. BMW style throttle via an alteration in the position (turning them 90° so they face the front) and then using two cables on one pull. There dizzyless ignition system. Check the late 6.0l V12s from the XJ40 (XJ81) and X300 (X305). They had I think 2 coil packs with 6 connections.
I personally see no reason to remve the dizzy. It's not like these engines need distributorless ignition setups. You won't see much gain either. If it were a high performance engine, say like Warren's build, where everything is apart in the first place, then yeah. But otherwise I'd leave it as is.

As the Lucas OPUS on the pre HEs is very prone to age-related failures, updating it for a RE-OPUS conversion is a good idea.

To go distributorless ignition you would need to change the ECU for either a programmable or the later Denso V12.
I agree moving the AC compressor is a good idea. The old GM A6 is a very large heavy unit and replacing it with modern Sanden or Denso relocated to the side has been done before.
