Battery Relocation with t-tops?

Here's a link to a webpage outlining the specs of an Optima Redtop battery:

As you can see, the heaviest version they make is 17.6 pounds and has 1050 cranking amps. If you went with this setup, you're not going to add any weight to the car in comparison to what the stock battery weighs, you'll just be putting it where the car can benefit from it the most.

yeah - i think it is time for a light battery. Sounds nice to put it all in the back but i'd rather my car weigh less all around. 13lbs up front shouldn't do much I don't think anyway.

I'm thinking of getting one of those Hawker PC680's. What exactly would one have to do to rig it up in the position of the stock battery? Do I simply need to buy those SAE Battery Terminal Posts and then the stock battery connections screw into that? Or do I have to make some adjustments with plates and posts and all that? Thanks.
