Which piping, for the beer or the gas? My 4.4cu ft fridge has gas lines through the bottom at the hump.

Welcome. What part of the bay are you in? I am in SSF. No answer to the question, but cool to have another member close by. I'd enjoy seeing what you are doing as I am space limited and trying to figure out how to get a multiple tap setup on the cheap. LOL

Am trying avoid any existing piping in freezer, and run my own in/out with fans to chill an external chamber. Of what I've researched the bottom is safest to punch through second to the lid. Am I correct?

Nice. Would like to see when you get it worked out. I've been toying with the idea of building a cabinet using my small dorm fridge to basically do the same thing. If you are ever in the SF area, hit me up for a beer or three. My treat. LOL. Rock On!!!!!!!!!

Read up on glycol chilling.
Use your freezer as the reservoir or to hold a separate container as such. Then pump the chilled glycol to/through your application.
The warm glycol is then returned to the (freezer) reservoir.
Similar to a keezer, you could build a narrow, insulated collar, placed between the freezer chest body and the lid, to let your piping through. The collar can be made from wood or rigid plastic sheeting and some insulation.
