Got it! Wasn't even that bad. Just had to know where to look. Ok and I'm sure this is mentioned in the thread but I've already been over it so many times and can't remember, if I take out 53,54,86,87 caps and reconnect to 53,54 pads, does this still preserve the regular headphone jack or not?
If you take out all four caps, you disconnect both the lineout and headphone jack. The advantage of the nano 1G is that the solder pads are huge compared to the 4G, so you don't need to disconnect anything. Unless you're using huge gauge wire, you don't need to remove any of the caps. Even the 4G solder pads were big enough that I didn't have to remove anything. I truly don't understand this insistence on removing the four caps.

This isn't necessarily true, but either way you don't want to be regulating the volume of your line out with the click wheel; that should be the amp's job. In any case, leave the caps in so that the line out and headphone jack will still work.
