New engine and trans -- what else?

My new engine (fast burn 385 P/N 12499710) and trans (4L60E P/N 19156259) and trans controller (Compushift) will be here by Friday -- I hope. I hope to have the major parts here and ready for install before i begin the project. I loose focus and desire if the truck is undrivable for a long period of time. I hope to have everything up and running in two full weekends (working Friday night to Sunday evening)

The engine is the turn key version that comes with the serpentine belt system.

My concerns are:
A/C lines -- will they have to be custome made or will the factory ones work?

Power steering lines -- custom made or will the factory ones work?

Fan and fan clutch -- factory will not work. what will?

Fan shroud -- Will the factory small blockwork shroud work? if not what will?

Carb (Holley 4160 style) -- will the factory rod style throttle work?

relocate trans mount and shorten driveshaft -- no problem.

Headers -- must have "D" port. I have looked at Sanderson CC3Dport. suggestions?

Front clip -- take off or not?

Any comments or suggestions are welcome.

All for a 67 short 2 wheel drive. Truck in avatar.
