Yes. fakesmc.kext (by netkas) & PlatformUUID.kext are the important kexts you need to put. AppleDecrypt.kext no longer required/working with SL.
Which part did you have problem? Are you installing to MBR or GUID partition table?

Yeah. 
By default SL will boot in 64bit mode and on some machines it can cause problem (even though the machines is 64bit capable). So I would suggest you to run it in 32bit mode. Just set the "Kernel Flags" with "arch=i386".
