EE Gem armor questions

[thonnas_hp]

I've finished my first energy collector and was thinking about making another, but since we can't use most of the EE power items, the only other utility from more EU (aside from mater generation) would be to make some gem armor.
Otherwise, I might as well start focusing on IC power generation. Because of this, I have a few questions:

First of all, is it okay to make some of the "banned" items in order to make the gem armor (ie Evertide Amulet)?

If not, is it alright to make gem armor via the Alchemical Tome + Transmutation Table (thereby circumventing the necessity of the aforementioned power items)?

Lastly, what, if any, or the gem armor abilities are disabled?

The helmet and chestplate are banned. Sorry, but that's the way it goes.
You may not make the above two items by any means.

Is it okay to make some of the "banned" items in order to make the gem pants and boots (ie SRG)?

If not, is it alright to make gem pants and boots via the Alchemical Tome + Transmutation Table (thereby circumventing the necessity of the aforementioned power items)?

Lastly, what, if any, or the gem pants and boots abilities are disabled?

Well, navigation doesn't quite work with the boots/legs, so they're both pretty much useless.
If you're lucky, the Hurricane Boots will still work when enabled.
You may use the Transmutation Tablet to make the pants and boots only.
