Well you replaced the rotors that's good always use jack stands don't trust any floor jack ever !
Wrenching will keep you young don't give up on that and keep putting fun miles on that vette.
Didn't know the caliper brackets call for that much torque I go as much as I can with a long 1/2 inch ratchet and that's what it gets never found a loosening bolt they remain tight.

I always use jackstands when I use a jack to raise the car. I had a friend whose jack had a slow leak and he'd have been trapped under his car if I had not been there to pump it up and get him out. Lesson learned without tragedy is the best time to learn it.
We looked in the service manual like five times to confirm that torque, I couldn't believe what I was reading. The calipers themselves need much less torque.
Yes, that 129 ft/lbs is a PITA! The higher up you get the car SAFELY, the easier it is. I would also highly recommend an extension bar for the torque wrench to get more oomph on it and a helper to secure the socket on the bolt.
