It doesn't actually not a good fit. Packer starts a VM and provision the config on it and then saves a snapshot of that VM. A installable ISO contains data and program that installs the data onto a new machine. That is a very different process.
And creating a auto-installing ISO from a standard CentOS image is just: 1) unpack the ISO to writable directory 2) add a kickstart file 3) edit the default boot loader command to load that kickstart file 4) pack everything up in a new ISO (This process can be done in a Packer template using the artifice post-processor if you want to automate this procedure and run it in a isolated environment).
