So I will need Corvette pulleys and alternator?

Typo error, my Stingray is '74.

You will need short waterpump pulleys as used on most 60's chevys. Hard to get, I modified some pulleys off an AMC to get mine going.

I got the pulleys and alternator bracket from Summit. The bracket and water pump pulley are very nice. The chrome on the crank pulley is crap. Better off to just paint it before putting it on.

If his car was automatic with AC he already has a BB radiator.

I hope you can use the brackets you have. Take a look in any of the major catalogs. The big block brackets and pulleys are very expensive.
