Thomas, before going through that trouble, there are ratcheting arms out there you might want to consider first.
To effectively lift the decklid out of your way (not so much the hood), those shocks would have to be mounted a third of the way into the opening of the lid. The hinged surface doesn't have a perch, so you'd be engineering something to put there -- and it might cause more headache than benefit.
Add the nature of the hood shocks, constantly pushing against both ends when compressed, and you might have to go with really weak ones to make them function well. Then you'll need a latch for the decklid, balanced pressures on the lid when it's both up AND down ...
Eek. I'd look into ratcheting hinges with release buttons, if it was me.
The front end, on the other hand, ought to be a champ -- and easy to do. My front end is held in its up position by two 11" shocks with 6" pistons. They carry the load of the entire front of the body with no popping or jerkyness in their travel.
You'll probably want to do your install with a blown one, first, so you can mark the compressed position and then the opened one before drilling holes. It will be easier if you drill the hole or holes in the hood hinges, too, rather than the fiberglass. If you drill the fiberglass and the shock (or shocks) stress the 'glass over time, you'll have holes to fix down the road. It'll also be easier to mount the bolts if you can get to both sides of them.
