Well, modern-ish Campy will generally be made for road bikes with 130 mm dropout spacing. The Atlantis is 135 mm, so you'll have to squish the frame a little, modify a hub. Or maybe you already have CK hubs with a Campy freehub? When you've figured that out, you'll have to reconcile yourself to Campy's race-oriented gearing. If you want a cog bigger than 29t, no stock Campy cassette will work. And if you re-space a Shimano cassette with bigger cogs, will a Campy derailleur handle the bigger cog? Will any of the Campy cranks clear the bowed-out Atlantis chainstays?
IMO, Campy is a quick road to frustration, heartache, and lots of money spent. Every Campy bike I've ever worked on has been a pain in the ass. Trying to find parts for older series drivetrains is often frustrating and expensive, if not impossible. We have a buddy at a nearby shop. Everytime we call him with one of our Campy compatibility questions, he usually laughs for a few minutes before delivering the bad news.
