Thanks for the heads up about the A/C bracket but I have to say the power steering pump inference was a little bit of a surprise. My 72' has round about the placement of A-arm components so that would have to be parts swap. I knew about the oil pan (only GM would send a drive shaft thru the oil pan intentionally) and it was a known factor. I'm going to talk to transmission guy I know and what he would charge for a input shaft swap. Having the entire donor in working order and time to dismantle is super cool. But I have to balance cost versus awesome factor of stealing that aluminum 5.3...
