some questions before I make some purchases

Im building the '59 Apache. I just finished up my camaro ifs graft, stabbed my 350/700r4 and fabbed up my engine mounts/tranny crossmember. I am making a purchase of some part to make a move on getting this thing back together.

I have heard guys say that they run a 22"x19" universal aluminum radiator from jegs. I wanted to know if this, in fact would fit well. I can fab up mounts. This is the radiator I intend to buy:

I also am purchasing a '70 mustang fuel tank and was planning on running this carter fuel pump:

I intend to buy these headers. They fit the '79 camaro subframe.

I also intend to purchase this transmission cooler. The size will work well in conjunction with the radiator to mount it.

You guys have much more experience with these trucks and im hoping you can tell me if im heading in the right or wrong direction.
Is this transmission cooler appropriate? I intend on installing it just in front of the radiator. Do you guys think that these headers are appropriate? As you can see, im on a bit of a budget. I'm trying to buy parts that will allow me to complete the build in a somewhat timely matter. Thanks for the input guys!
