Well I've got upper and lower radiator hoses coming on Wednesday, and I bought all new bolts for the water pump today. I've installed the pump and took the bolts down to snug and then some since I can't really find a torque spec for them anywhere.
So while I'm waiting for hoses, I assembled everything that could be be put together. Hoses, pulleys, air cleaner, and I installed brand new heater hoses. I'm using newer style hose clamps, because I can't figure out how to tighten the vintage tower clamps. The heater hoses came extra long, so I routed them around onto the wheel well versus the old hoses which were cut down and running right alongside the HEI and straight back to the heater core.
I'm now working on the electric fan installation. Trying to find a switched electric signal to hook the relay up to.
Here's a few pics I snapped with only the radiator, fan, hoses and bracket left to go:
