I don't think you are going to be able to get the a/c compressor in there without doing some cutting. I just used a complete f-body radiator/fan assembly. Easy to mount and all contained in itself. I just used stock radiator hoses for the 5.3 truck, if you were using the f-body water pump, I am sure you could just use the f-body radiator hoses. I would say the hoses that came from whatever the genIII motor came out of would work with your stock 67-72 radiator as well. The upper runs across to the driver side on those vehicles anyway, and the hoses are made to clear the accessories. Helped a buddy with a 5.3 in a 85 truck and used the stock radiator with the 5.3 trucks hoses.
