Check out all your exhaust hangers. My pipes used to rattle against the tranny crossmember once in a while, stopped most of it by tightening/moving the hangers around a bit.

Damn..... It took me a Loooong time to pinpoint that one
I was ready to dissamble the entire car

I heard it most while driving slow along side anything big........ like a building.
Popped the ring off and it was gone
Put the ring back on......... still clicks but at least I know what it is

The blower motor fan in my 81 is loose and rattles in its cage at idle, (probably all the time but you can only hear it at idle). Its right at the pass. side footwell. If it changes pitch or goes away when you speed up or turn on the fan then there you go.

Check your exhaust heatshields. The hanger rivets rust away making them rattle.
