Also, look into Kwik Performance. They make brackets to mount your AC up high on the passenger side and make different alternator/power steering brackets as well. They're pretty competitive pricewise since you keep the rest of your stock drive.
Engine mounts, frame stands and headers are going to be the biggest PITA to figure out if you don't get it in "kit" form. There were 3 different frame stands in '69 and at least 2 different mounts. This will become a big deal as far as how high your engine sits and therefore how low your headers are going to hang and whether or not you will need to modify your transmission tunnel.

I mentioned a GM Corvette accessory drive
They are very reasonable, as compared to the aftermarket accessory drive kits
