Ok. I have an ork street sam of doom I'm making. I give him the full Smartlink 2 set-up, including eye display. I give him a weapon with a guncam on top. If I give him a datajack, do you think that the eye display would suffice for purposes of displaying the guncam's field of view?
No, the eye display would not be sufficient. AFAIK it can only do basic line-drawing overlays (crosshairs ETC) to your normal field of view. You'd need an image link to do the trick you describe.
[edit]Or if you had a cyberdeck you could do it on a display link (running it through a real-time video to ASCII conversion program)...[/edit]

And the Image Link could also double as the eye display for the smartlink
Actually, I think there is some debate as to whether the Image link can also perform the same function as the retinal display.
Any canon decisions either way?

Also: There are no rules for it but you may want to consider adding penalties for recoil (doubble?) for firing a weapon at a severe angle to your arm.

Buy your smartlink piecemeal and use an image link for the display component. Then make sure you've got an interconnection between the guncam feed and the eye system and you should be good to go. Not to mention the fact that there are 101 good street sam uses for the image link.
