You can't count on the 1.c4 always transposing to the KID.
For the caro-kann, be prepared for 1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.e5 c5!?
This is what I use and it is lethal to most white players.

I agree with Hypocrism. Most players looking to reach a QG will play 1. d4. Players that play 1. c4 are unlikely to then play an early d4.

I know but I will use the same black set-up even if they don't go exactly as I put up there.

It's always dangerous relying on a system. React to your opponents moves if they are not book knowledge and don't be set on a designated setup.
The italian game and the sicilian are the two most common openings I play against, congrats on your fascinating decision.

I wasn't aiming for fascinating.
I have one suggestion. When you play the Grand Prix attack (its what I play), Use a different move order like:
Other than that, what line will you play in the Italian game as I play that as well? What do you do after 3...Bc5 4.c3 Nf6. I recommend b4 as a sideline to d3. d4 allows black to equalize
