Got my ALU and register modeled in VHDL. I admit I found a model for the 74181 online. But I wrote the '996 myself with a testbench. I was a little rusty on my VHDL, but it comes back fast. Vivado is a little hairy too. Took me a while to figure out that I can't start my module names with a number. But it's off and running now. Next I'll hook them up together and maybe even put a databus in there. A little address decoding and it starts to look like a system!

"I admit I found a model for the 74181 online."
Actually it's good because it saves you a lot of hair-pulling with the weird architecture of this chip :-)
However you MUST verify that the code matches reality because errors are so easy to make...
Are you sure? yes | no
