Hi NBK,
I suggest you buy the NCRS 68-69 CORVETTE TECNICAL INFORMATION & JUDGING GUIDE, and the NCRS 1953-1972 CORVETTE SPECIFICATION GUIDE. You can buy these at the store on the NCRS website. You don't need to be a member, (although joining would be a great idea), to buy them.
Those books will give you lots of part number and date information far beyond the things you listed in your post.
Regards,
Alan
Be aware that even if you figure out all the appropriate numbers and dates, it will probably take you years and far more money that you imagine to acquire all the bits and pieces. Rough guess would be 10K.

Before I go checking a bunch of books for numbers, I THINK you need to specify transmission type and even whether the car had A/C to get all the engine numbers right... and of course build date (so you can get the right date stamps) which will be more or less a function of your vin sequence #. It always looks bad when someone builds a "restoration" motor with wrong numbers!
Hi PRNDL,
Your pont is well taken That's why I suggested the NCRS information because the part numbers stated take into consideration various options that a particular car might of had.
