IFR requirements include CDI indications to a standard CDI or HSI, cannot
use the on screen indicator,
also requires warning flags/lights within a certain "view pattern" of the
pilot.

I'm aware of that. I was more interested in what letters the person
must have behind their name to make the final signature in the log
book.

Talk to a local Avionics intall shop.. also their is an AC on the FAA web
on
GPS installations for IFR/VFR use.

That's what I was afraid of. I was hoping to do much of the work myself
to save money but the local shops certainly will not do that. I though
perhaps a retired avionics guy could assist me and get it signed off
but it sounds like from what you are saying its not possible. ;(
