Hi guys i try to figure out the LS mounts for my 72 A-Body
my combo is Lq4 + 4L80 trans so i guess i want some kind of adjustability.

i know there is the Dirty Dingo Sliders
but also the
Adjustable generic Adapter Plates + Solid SBC Clam shells
( i plan on AC but i dont mind a high or Mid mount)

What do you recommend?

Further Oil pan wise
i am looking into the Holley 302-2/3
But i saw also the Speed Engineering Pan
https://www.speed-engineering.com/featured-products/ls-swap-conversion-oil-pan-ls1-ls2-ls3-ls6.html
it says it fits the A-Bodys
i hope its not just a GM muscle car pan repro.

any experience?

Personally I would just get the Holley pan and mounts and call it a day, I see most people getting the 302-3 nowadays . I works as a system like they designed it to be. Everything I've seen from Speed Engineering is a copy of someone else product. Holley has done enough R&D to eliminate a lot of the guesswork.
