I am thinking of setting up a 20 Gal Tank with the following:
1 Bolivian RAM (Microgeophagus altispinosa)
5/6 Cardinal Tetras (Paracheirodon axelrodi)
4 Panda Corydoras
3/4 Amano Shrimp (Caridina multidentata)
Fishless cycled, planted.
Is that too many? too little? Any issues?

Looks good you could even expand the Cardinals to 10-12 and not be overcrowded. Also expand your pandas to six they are smaller than most cories and will be happier.

I would up the tetras as mentioned, and maybe even add a second Bolivian Ram. A 20 long is sufficient space for a Bolivian pair.

 My answer may change though ;-P

Without any mention of filtration I have to say that is far too much... BTW - What is your filtration going to be? 
Joe, There was no mention of a 20 long that I saw...
Gas mileage isn't everything OIIIIIIIO
Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.
Why pretend there are no stupid questions? Actually, There are many stupid questions: "Should I drink this bleach?" Is just one example.
Having said that, Just because it's a stupid question doesn't mean that it shouldn't be asked. It's better to know.
A warm beer is better than a cold beer. Because nothing is better than a cold beer, and a warm beer is better than nothing.

I have not bought anything yet I'm planning it first. I could go for a 20 Long if that would be good for 2 RAMs
The filter I haven't looked at yet in detail, any suggestions? Something quiet would be nice.
Also should I add an air stone or something similar?

Glad 850R asked the question. I would get an Aquaclear 70 at least and no you won't need an airstone at least in my opinion.

Yes I am planting it. Would a Long tank have issues with the plants since they have less vertical room?
Do the plants just stop growing when they get to the surface?

It's give and take & you have to plant accordingly. Some plants will grow out of anything lol.
With a 20L though you have a larger footprint to plant and more options for 'scaping in general imo.
