sub domain to addon domain

[beinelengen]

Before I get to my questions I'm using SMF 2.0 RC4 with the security patch, and default theme.
plus the following mods:
 
1. Menu Buttons 1.1   
2. Share This Topic 2.8.2 
3. TinyPortal 1.103   
4. Image Quote Removal Package 1.1.1   
5. TinyPortal 1.104 
6. Ad Managment 2.3.6.4   
7. Sitemap 2.2.0   
8. Aeva ~ Auto-Embed Video & Audio 7.1     
9. H1 Tags in link tree 1.1 
10. SMF 1.0.20 / 1.1.12 Update 1.0   
11. Global Headers Footers 2.0     
12. Switch Permissions 1.0   
13. Default Avatar 2.0     
15. SMF 2.0 RC4 Security Patch 1.0   
16. Custom Action Mod 3.2   
17. TinyPortal 1.102

I have two SMF forums running on the same shared hosting account. No troubles on the primary domain and its forum. My issues involve the second forum and what I want to accomplish with it. The second forum has been set up as a sub domain. I want to change that to a new domain addon domain. I have the addon domain set to point to the correct name servers. Forum #2 lives inside its own folder inside public html.

I have been reading posts and tutorials on doing this and have a pretty good idea about what needs to be done and hopefully how to go about it thoroughly. This is my to do list. I would like to know if I have thought of everything necessary and, if I have the steps ordered logically. Finally, can I use the 301 redirect to preserve the links that have been established by just funneling them at www.new_domain.com/forum2

If you think of anything I am missing please let me know.
thanks in advance

1. Point addon domain, www.new_domain.com to folder (forum2) . This forum is currently at sub domain, hxxp:www.forum2.forum1.com [nonactive]

2. Delete sub domain hxxp:www.forum2.forum1.com [nonactive]

3. Set up some sort of 301 redirect that will funnel all the bookmarks, links and SE links to the addon domain, www.new_domain.com for the site.

4. Go in and fix all the broken paths with repair_settings.php

5. Find and fix other broken paths, for themes and mods.

Yes, missing one: Back up everything. Other than that you look good.
