header clearance. i had headers on the 69, they wont work with the 86 a arms, i think theyre a little wider. had to cut the header and likely commit to shorty headers in the future.
i used 86 a arms, evidently, in 86 they did not have the 1.25 inch rotors(which i already bought from summit based on general concensus here) so i had to go with 80 chevy calipers, and they seem to fit fine.
wheel bearings, dont know what theyre supposed to be but i used A3 and A5 wheel bearings.
cost and availability for parts is far worth it.

i havent put the center link/tie rods on yet, but they came off the 86 so they should be fine.
tried to keep the sway bar from the 86, but my 69 doesnt have provisions to mount it so it went. again, this things getting cruised every now and then, so i dont care much about cornering.

thats my .02

Do a search to find sway bar installs. That sway bar should fit directly to the frame but you may have to drill some holes and remove a few rivets.
