Ok,
So I'm thinking of overhauling my current Space Marine Army to a possible Salamander army since all I have to do is repaint.
But what would their fluffy units be/fluffy lists?
This is what I think I know already...
-Meltas
-Flamers
-Drop Pods
-Land Speeders
Would units like Assault Termies, Dreads, and Predators be fluffy for them?
Of you have any sample lists, that would be awesome!

But yeah, you want lots of what you've already mentioned.

read the old armageddon codex, it will point you in the right direction.
As to fluffy, Landspeeders, bikers/attack bikes, Assault marines are all out.
these were all restricted in C:A, take 0-1 if you want to stick to fluff

Terminators (especially TH/SS). Sternguard with meltas, flamers and combi weapons. Techmarines.
Units that are less used than in regular Codex chapters: Assault marines/vanguard, land speeders, bikes and scouts.

Might not be as good but damn it's fun.
Also if you magnetize the sponsons you can have a crusader as well.

Taking the forgefather may be helpful, however, his utility may be lessened amongst a mech army... though Re-rolling Melta hits is O-So-Delicious

Also, that doesnt prove anything other than GW has a huge hard-on for marines, and, given the option between making a xeno the best psykers or making a marine the best psyker, they will 9 times out of 10 choose the marine.

Ahh, forgot about that! His model is pretty cool, and his Heavy flamer is a nice touch before he charges into combat. He's overall a good model to include in a Salamanders force, for the fluff. Even if you don't use him for that purpose, you could just proxy him as another HQ choice.

Right now I'm running a Librarian in Termie armor, so I'd mainly be using Vulkan in 2K point games, unless you suggest otherwise.

Libby in termie armor is fine. I field Vulkan in 1500+ games, however, I play almost strictly for fun =). If you plan on doing something Tournamenty (ITS A WORD NOW!!!) I suggest not taking him unless it's 2k points.
Again, contradicting myself, if your list is going for the Low-model count, and is fielding a lot of TH/ SS termies, I'd say GO FOR IT!

Each salamander marine is a craftsman, so they maintain their own armour. this allows the techmarines the time to make kick ass stuff, so a fluffy army would have terminator armour, artificer armour, master-crafted weapons.
and as everyone has said bikes and speeders are out as they don't get practice time with them, due to planetary conditions.
