Using more ships in the main fleet specifically to equip more radars will reduce the overall fuel cost, but not ammo. Those ships he was using are actually pretty high on the fuel consumption for the respective ship classes. Zuihou, Houshou, Shouhou and Ryuujou use the least fuel. Furutaka/Kako/Kinugasa/probably Aoba are cheaper CAs.

You can add subs to the escort fleet at virtually no fuel cost and you'll get more opening torpedoes out of it. Helps with the first node. They also tank for your escort fleet.

His listed AS was more than you actually need. It's possible to have about 100 AS and get away with it as long as your LBAS are stripping the enemy planes away. Using 3 fighters/interceptors in the first LBAS airstrike strips more fighters and therefore costs less to repair than a 2/2 comp.
