As theoldsalt said don't drill the sump just have the overflow empty into your first chamber with skimmer using pvc. I will post pictures of mine when i get ahold of a camera.
You might want to consider haveing your fuge part on the right side of your sump with the return in the middle. Once again i will post pictures of my set up. What you do is you use a t on your return with a ballvalve to split the water between the two sides, and of course you will have more water go to the skimmer side then your fuge side. It is important to do this because most skimmers are should only be in less then 10 inches of water (each skimmer has a differert water line). With the fuge on the right side you can have your baffles set up this way. From left to right in 29 gallon tank: Skimmer, 10 inches baffle, 16 inch baffle (placed so inch or two between baffle and bottom), 8 inch baffle (this baffle should be lower the first baffle so you skimmer water line does not change), return section, 15 inch baffle, fuge. When i reread that it sounds confusing but it will make more sense when i post pics.
Hope this at least start getting you to think a little about the project.
