Modifying a pack to attach to an external frame?

I have a pack that I use to carry my turkey blind, chairs, tripod, etc and it works great except the shoulder straps and waist belt leave a little to be desired. I was thinking this morning now that I have a pack with an external frame, I should try to modify the blind carrier to hook up to my frame and it would be much easier to carry. How do I go about getting them to hook to each other? Just sew a few pieces of webbing and female clips onto the bag?

My suspension and frame is a Kuiu Icon Pro, if that makes any difference.

Pics from guys that have done similar projects would help a ton!

Or can anyone that has a bigger kuiu pack (5200+) post pictures of the attachment points on the pack?

Or if someone has one and is willing to text me pics, I can give them my cell #.

Bringing this back up because I've started to think about winter projects...

So on that pack, the tabs on top of the frame slide up into those pockets, but then where do the load lifters attach?

Anyone have more pictures of a 5200/7200?

I'd presume those loops above the sleeves but I don't run a kuiu setup for really have any experience other than seeing photos online. I just happened to have that bag in house to make an alteration when you were asking so I snapped a photo.
