I think that DC is meant to be followed religiously, but also tailored (in some ways) to fit your individual needs. For example, I know people who have a hard time deadlifting and squatting on days close together. I have never had this problem. You may have problems keeping the intensity up on your chest/shoulder/tri/back width and thickness day. I have found that when I am able to split up chest/shoulder/tri's in the am, and back in the pm..or I have even tried chest/shoulders/tris on monday and back width/back thickness/bi's on tuesday, then rest on wednesday. I respect the fact that people have gained magnificently on the tried-and-true dc schedule, but I think you should evaluate what you know you are capable of.
As far as ab-training goes, I have always done them on 'rest days' (cardio and ab days). This has worked pretty well for me, and my abs have come up a lot as a result of my focus.
