Default What springs for B.B.??

I am doing a frame off on my 67 big block and am changing some things. Many years ago - but few miles ago I bought some new front springs from G.M.-part #3888251-which I think are reg big block springs. With a 7 leaf in the back. I really liked the ride and the height was perfect before I tore it apart. Now I am adding a new eng. with Al. heads, vintage air, tremac trans, Al. radiator, Al. water pump. So I figure I have lost 100 lbs in the heads and radiator. But gained about 75 lbs from the trans and the ac compressor. Will my ride height be close to the same??? Oh yea lighter starter and waterpump too..
