>Thanks for responding, but I think I will take Rick's advice and start over small. angular and web api with empty mvc project.

One more thing: I would probably use MVC instead of Web API. Going forward in vNext there will be no WebAPI, just a combined version of MVC that handles both HTML views and API access. MVC works just fine for APIs and with a little customization you can build the same functionality like WebAPI with MVC as well (ie content negotiation, and raw result values).
