You generally want about 1.045 in the boil I belive so probably 1kg of Amber should be about right! Also if you are "allowing it to cool" you need to be aware that you may get extra ibus depending on how long it takes to do so. Consider an ice bath etc to cool it quickly and get it closer to the calculated ibu

Looks good mate. I'd be inclined to just give it a whirl and see how it turns out.

Personally I'd switch out half of your Amber extract for pale (light) malt.

For AIPA's I go with a 60 minute bittering addition to get you about half of your IBUs and get the rest from 10, 5 or flameout additions. I also dry hop about 3 or 4 days before bottling.

Thanks Shacked I might switch out 1.5kgs to light instead... I think I just need to brew it and see what happens... Thanks again
