PKguitar,
Maybe I can assist you with some typical assembly date sequencing on 1970 LS5 Corvettes.
I see that your car is vin # 7541, I had two '70's that fall before and after yours. One is vin # 7272 with a block casting of B 20 70 with a pad stamping of T0306CZU. The other is vin # 8373 with a block casting of B 18 70 with a pad stamping of T0318CZU.
I also have the intake manifold and head casting dates as well for these cars, if you need to know.

Really, this is more confirmation of what I have already seen. My engine build date is right in the middle there, and lines up with the build date for the car very well. If my memory serves, the cast date on my intake manifold is very close or maybe even the same day as your 7272.

I hadn't listed any other engine components, so I'm not sure what you are referring to?
Here are the intake manifold casting dates, for vin # 7272, B 27 70. For vin # 8373, C 18 70.

It looks like you have a fine car. The drive train is most likely original and you should fire it up and drive the hell out of it. Enjoy the car and welcome to the club.
