Default Crate engine going vintage

Hello Everyone
I bought a 302 Boss crate engine and I am waiting to put it in a 65- 68 Mustang that is missing an engine soon. I would like it to have a vintage look, but only a look...t does not need to be a perfect restoration because of my budget and time. I am having an impossible time getting the right ac, ps and alt brackets and pulleys. There are many aftermarket billet kits, s-belts conversion kits, etc. etc. put nothing with an oem look. Heck, I can't even find a picture of a 1968 Ford Mustang engine that shows brackets. Any wisdom would be so greatly appreciated.
Thank you

You may want to try a mustang forum and not a truck forum

The cars from the 60-70 had some very basic brackets. I doubt any aftermarket company makes what you are looking for. Most likely it would have to be custom made.

There should be plenty of images of a Stock engine bay from that era. If you cant find any online, go to a car show.

I have seen some of the new Coyote engines in the old cars and if its not OEM from the crate engine, It was shiny billet stuff from an aftermarket company.
