Corner cabinets for kitchen sink?

Hiya,
I am basically happy with my kitchen plans, but I have a few questions and I'm looking for help and advice.
1) In order to maximize counter space, I'd like to drop a 23" ATLANT sink into the outer half of a corner cabinet rather than use a dedicated sink cabinet. Will this cause any problems besides having to cut out for the pipes (and losing some storage space)?
2) The Kitchen Planner warns me that I won't be able to open the drawers in the adjacent cabinet (to the left of where the sink will be). Since the drawer-front on the corner cab will be fixed shut to accommodate the sink, is this really a problem?

Here's a link to the 3D image http://www.ikeafans.com/galleries/index.php?n=745
The sink, btw , will (hopefully) be placed directly to the left of the 18" DW .

There should be no problem installing the sink in the 49" blind corner cabinet, just allow for a filler strip between it and the adjacant cab..

Thank you, torrus. I've added the filler strip in the Kitchen Planner, and it looks like everything will still fit.

I noticed that the blind corner cabinet has a depth of 25 9/16", while everything else seems to be 24". Does anyone know why, and will it present any issues in making the wall cabinets line up with the bases?

The blind corner cabinet is 24" deep - like the other base units.
