I uninstalled both Bitcoin Core and Armory and then reinstalled Bitcoin core in its default path. I let them sync and now I can see my current BTC balance!
If I understand it correctly, my next step is to install Bitcoin ABC on an external harddrive and let it sync. I can then set the path of Armory to where those blocks are and I will se my current BCH balance? Or do I need to install and run another instance of Armory?
EDIT: And it looks like I remembered it completely wrong about the HDD space needed. I believe when I first got Armory (2014) the total space needed was 2 times the blockchain size, since armory took up the same amount of space. Now it looks like this is not the case (or maybe it wasn't ever like that, and I just remember it wrong)

1)Glad you can see your balance.
2)Basically. As mentioned before, copy the Core data and Armory data to the external drive, use command line pathing to get ABC to update the blockchain, and then use pathing on Armory (with ABC running) to access your coins under Armory.
3)You're right. My understanding of the progress of Armory was managing the blockchain directly in memory (all versions before 0.9), then using LevelDB to manage the blockchain (0.9-0.93.3), and then LMDB to manage the blockchain (0.94-present). You're probably thinking of LevelDB, where Armory basically replicated the blockchain, which would now be ~370 GB of data when combined with the blockchain. LMDB is much smarter and only uses ~1 GB on my setup (+ ~185 GB for the blockchain).
