Replacing Vanilla Armor with Custom Armor

Hi there, I'm trying to use Ashara's Elven Knight as a replacement for female Stormcloaks. Where I'm at is that I want to either 1. Replace the Stormcloak cuirass with a mesh than includes most all of the armor pieces in one, or 2. Assign extra mesh pieces to the Stormcloak armor. (Elven Knight armor has seperate pauldron, leg armor, skirt, skirt armor, and collar .nif files)

 

My problem with 1 is, although I was able to rename, paste, and save the extra meshes to the base, set the bones first in ck to match those in Nifskope and then when that didn't work I tried setting the mesh bones to match "body" in Nifskope first and didn't change any of the settings in CK. Either way, I get this:

My problem with 2 is that I have absolutely no idea how to tell the game to load extra meshes for a vanilla set. I took a look at http://wiki.tesnexus.com/index.php/Creating_an_armour_for_Skyrim._Part_2, and I've come to understand that if I set the Stormcloak cuirass with the extra Addons meshes, when the Stormcloak cuirass is worn, all other pieces will appear as well... Well I tried that, it doesn't work, armor just disappears in game and I get floating heads.

 

I don't know which one is on the right track so I figured I'd ask about both these problems.

I'm not at all experienced with Nifskope or meshes, also relatively new to Creation Kit, so step-by-step would be greatly appreciated.
