Yup, it's not too bad.  But the wheel rate is harder to calculate...

Front is easy if you attach the bar to the strut. It is very close to 1 to 1 ratio. If it is still attached to the control arm, then you will need to get the morion ration to calculate the wheel rate  Really only need the distance from the attachment point to the sway bar link and from attachment point to the ball joint of the strut.

Picture of the "big enough sway bar for autocross"

What bar and links are those? Nice that it attaches to the strut housing. Fellow old car autocrosser here trying to optimize suspension. Here are some fun pro pics of me and my '69 at a local club event a couple weeks ago if anyone wants to check em out. pics of Roundie autocrossing

Sorry, I do not remember the sizes any more, but it is a Nascar Style Splined bar. The arms were cut to about 7 or 8 inches, and i had the ears welded to the strut.

 

I tried using bearings for the mounts to the subframe, but i could not get them to be parallel, so switch to bushings.
