Is that the TCI clip? Mine doesn't have a plate mounted on the cross member I I don't see the threaded mounts on the A-arms for the sway bar.
Plus it doesn't kick in an inch like the TCI.

Looking great!
I've done a '67 before and working on a '62 wagon currently. Going with the Smith Racecraft front clip.
Are you going to run an intank pump in your stocker - or sump it? I've narrowed mine as well and plan on doing an intank pump. I don't want the noise of an inline...

You said the motor came out of an '01 Camaro? Are you using the stock F body accessory configuration and was the motor set up for a non a/c cofiguration or did you do that? I have the same issue with an LS1 in a Chevelle and I wondered if you knew the part # for that pulley/idler in place of the a/c pump.
BTW, I be the wife loves doing the laundry in the middle of all that!

Which brake booster are you using. I am ready to buy one now and I was concerned that there was going to be a problem with the oil filler tube (whateve it does on the driver side) on the valve cover.

Mines on the passenger side. Try switching valve covers.
I just ordered a Booster/cylinder prop valve yesterday from ABSpowerbrakes.com. Best price, quality stuff and nice folks to talk to.
295 for the whole assembly.
