Nice! You driving all of it as before?
You going to Alcatraz? Definitely take a ride on a tram in San Fran, GGB is also a good sight.
How long you going for?

done san fran to la last year.. along the coast though... the view was brilliant... your going to be short on time with 16 days... them dots on the map are further appart than they seem..
i'm doing dallas--houston--new orleans--jackson--memphis--nashville--atlanta this year in june...
what i do is book the hotel for the first night you arrive... stay there for a 2-3 days and then just wing it from there... the hotels always have walk in rates...
theres a handy calculator for calculating drive times

16 days is plenty
I did 19 days and 3,330 miles last year on Route 66
This route is 1300 give or take a few explorations so might end up about 1800

Would love to go into the weirdo incest lands (iowa, nebraska, wyoming etc) just to see old petrol stations with 1930's cars outside (stereo typical)
