Scott,
I've got the same subframe in a '68 with an LS7. If you're running A/C, you're going to have to modify some things to make the accessory drive work. If you're not, the Corvette stuff will probably fit fine, but I've never tried it. I also had issues with getting the Ford rack to play nice with the GM power steering pump. Adding a hydroboost to the car, just made this more complicated, as well.
As far as some of the stuff you've listed that you need, I've had good luck Ron Davis rad number 2 so far. They changed the design a bit to alleviate the leaks that were an issue with the one we got 2+ years ago.
I've got a C6 pedal in the car, and it looks stock, even the original stainless trim fit it. Not sure if that would play nice with the C5 stuff, though.
The '68 has a stock tilt column in it, which has worked great. Not sure if a stock column fits the look you're going for, though. You'll have to build a steering shaft from the rack. I used stainless stuff from Flaming River--no issues at all.
For wiring, I like the American Autowire kit I used. It was a lot of time and work to setup, but it allows you to do whatever you want as far as how you run the wires. For the engine I harness I was very happy with Speartech; they sent the full harness with computer and gas pedal.
I have been happy with a the gas tank we got from Rick's, as well.
Anyway, it looks like you've got a fantastic foundation for this car. They can't have done many with the IRS underneath. With the right springs, shocks and sways that thing should handle extremely well. I'm looking forward to seeing progress on this car.
