69-72 Chevelles have the long water pump. So to keep the truck setup you will need a short water pump. The pulleys and brackets from a 66-68 Big Block Chevelle will work. Crank, water pump, power steering bracket/pump/resevoir and alternator.

FYI, this will be a significant expense if you were hoping to do a cheap big block swap. A lot of people keep the long water pump pulleys and brackets, but I prefer spending the money for the short pump setup.
