Is this possible?

I would like to ask the more knowledgeable people if they think this is possible or is there too much interference? I’m building a 68 Coronet 383 4spd and want to incorporate a/c (sanden comp mounted below alt), power brakes, power steering and headers. Will it all fit? Thanks
 
Sure, why not?
I have all that in my red '70 Charger with a 440 based 495.

I think the mounts I saw with the compressor under the alternator you have to remove the mechanical fuel pump and run an electric.
 
The low mount A/C compressor carries with it a stern warning....
The SINGLE belt arrangement associated with this often results in belt slippage and squealing if all conditions are not 100%. Perfect alignment, perfect belt tension and no contaminants on the pulley or belt.
 
Should not be a problem. Done all the time.
Radiator fan clearance can be an issue if adding pulleys that move accessories or the belts forward.
I have the Billet Specialties trutrac Serpentine drive system on the 440 in the '69 Coronet and using electric cooling fans as there is not much room for a mechanical fan.
 
I'm using the setup from SD Concepts. Not sure if he's still making them though.

I went with the March serpentine system. Fits in my 63 440 with room for dual electric fans.

Thanks for all the replies, Just wanted to make sure before I invest in parts and start putting it together. Final paint just about done and can soon start assembly.
