Should I tie my roll bar and subframes together?

I have a '94 Vert. I have a brand new set of MMS full length subs and a brand new Autopower 4 point roll bar. Should I tie the two together some how at the rear of the subframes? Even though the roll bar can add stiffness to the car, they are only bolted to the unibody. I have also been wondering about adding an X brace between the subframe connectors. I also plan to somehow add jacking rails and tieing them into the subframes. I am installing a Kenne Bell on a stroked motor. Still unsure about using any juice. But I never plan on using slicks because of the the worry about having too much motor on a vert.

You could always just channel the floorpan and run 2x4 boxframes through it to tie the front and rear subframes together, then tie the cage to that. That's what I've been thinking about doing to my convertible to keep it from twisting up any more. My passenger door doesn't line up anymore. :(

That's my exact concern. When I found this vert it was straight as could be. The doors shut like the car is brand new. I don't want to screw that up.
