Looking at the pictures on the ebay listing it is as you say - a bolt and go but adding the neck pick up depends upon how picky you are with the placement.  If you look closely the plank of wood you screw the neck to is held by 2 blocks of wood to the lid and one is where the neck pickup usually is.  If you rout out a pickup socket here this will weaken it and if you go below this the pickup will be much lower down than a typical tele neck pick up (fine if you want it there).

Well I could route out a section of that block and that wouldn't weaken it that bad you think?
