Going for something not too bitter.
APA style

9 lb 2 Row
1.5 Munich
1 Crystal 60

1 oz Amarillo at 60
.75 Cascade at 5

Saf 04 yeast.

Considering orange zest at the end and lose the cascade and replace with amarillo for aroma as well.

....Leave as is and add the amarillo....orange zest? Why not.

I would recommend the addition of a good, neutral bittering hop for full boil, like warrior or cascade, using the amarillo somehwere within the 10-20 min range. This will give a nice hop platform for the amarillo and cascade flavors and aromas to shine through.

I like Vienna in my Pale Ale's, but you cant go wrong with munich. I would do what Lucky recommended as well.

This. You'll lose all the awesome Amarillo-iness if you boil it for 60 mins. Toss it in later in the boil. Cheers!

I agree with Lucky. Don't use the Amarillo as a bittering hop (60 min boil). Cascade , willamate ,or cluster work well for the 60 min.

Woops, meant Warrior or *Magnum*, those are my favorite bitterings. Though Cascade would work as well, probably also best as an early-mid flavoring hop.
