However, the method of the metropolis' construction might end up angering Chac Mool. I was wondering if anybody can give me any information on this psedo-god. Ways to reason with him, his goals, whether he is open to compromise, maybe some adventure ideas, etc. Any input would be very helpful...

Mining the dead gods, disturbing them in their slow twilight spiral of entropy and abandonment tends to rile him. And riling him is a bad thing... The githyanki get away with building their cities upon dead gods, and they seem to avoid any active tampering with the isles, just using them as a stable gravity well (and occasionally collecting material from the surface they use to make their silver swords). They've been doing it long enough that they seem to know what boundaries and limits Anubis has, and they don't stray over them. Anubis controls the Astral Dreadnoughts, and seems to know about anything happening on or around any of the godisles of the Astral. Why he defends it nobody seems to know. And what exactly he is is uncertain as well. The dark of it is that Anubis was once of course the Egyptian power of death and burial, judge of the dead, etc. However he saw the dead gods of the Astral and became obsessed with them and his own deific mortality. He voluntarily shed his divinity and became, some say transcended, to become the Guardian of the Dead gods. Some also refer to him as Chac Mool/Mul. He seems to possess many of the same powers as a deity, but not have the requirement for mortal worship.

He had a bit too much to drink and semi sarcastically bet that he would guard the Dead Gods for the rest of enternity. Well when you make a bet like that really drunk an on a 3 and 5 off suit with a bunch like that well nasty things can happen. Moral of the story is that everything is more interesting with alcohol.
