Cooling system 70 455

Hi guys,
I'm putting a 70 cutlass sx together I'm ready to install the 455 stock rebuild. This is my first olds build, trying to figure out the cooling system after deleting the ac. I'm thinking of going with a coldcase radiator, and a flowkooler water pump my question is what pullys and brackets do I need to setup up the accessory drive as a non ac car.
thanks
John

I have attached 2 pages from the '70 assembly manual showing the RH mounted (non-AC) alternator and the power steering brackets.

Be aware that the water pump inlet and radiator outlet are large on the 70-older engines and are smaller on the 71-up engines. Since you're planning on an aftermarket radiator and aftermarket water pump, make sure the sizes match.

The correct pulleys depend on which of the three water pump lengths you are getting.
