As far as the AC hose crimps, yes the serrated style is the more modern crimp that can handle more PSI. The original circular style crimp is no longer available as far as I know....

I dont consider my car "correct" but I tried to make it "stock looking"as possible.

Looking over your pics I do notice that you dont have the "correct" valve cover studs on the front & rear lower positions...you have bolts all around.

Also, hard to see in the pics but do you have the special battery cable clamp that bolts to the back of the compressor bracket? (circled in the pic)

Also for 69 440 with AC the throttle return spring should be green...

Ahhhh...I am glad you mentioned the clip for the battery cable that mounts to the back of the compressor. I do have it!! But need to install it. I noticed I was missing that but forgot to install. Will get that installed before I forget again.
I had the correct studs in the valve covers before I had the engine rebuilt!! Damn, I guess the engine rebuilder did not put them back. I was so happy to have had those and survived all these years. Thanks for pointing that out. Another fix🤔.
