There are 
other brackets you can get.  Since your '65 should not have used any of the 
cylinder head mounting bolts, you can work with this arrangement, or swap to all 
new brackets that mount to the cylinder head as well that can also bring the 
accessories in.  There are alternator mount brackets made for use with 
headers which bolt on.  I had mine welded onto my headers once, which has 
plusses and minuses.
I don't 
know about AC mounts, but I thought power steering mounted by the engine mount 
and block and not the headers.  Either way, if you have a catalog you can 
find the header brackets as well as other mounts used through the years.  
Or, you can shell out some more money for a very cool looking serpentine 
system.  They seem to mount exclusively to the block and heads, which means 
you will not have any headaches.

  I'm installing a 350 crate motor in my '65 Malibu SS.  
   
  There are some unknowns about mounting the accessories, particularly 
  those attaching to exhaust manifolds, as I want to use headers.  Is there 
  a way to use my original brackets for power steering, A/C and 
  alternator?  
   
  Has someone else done this recently?  If so, could I have your phone

I put a
1958 SB into my '69 and didn't have any problems other than having to shim the
motor mounts (luckily my brother just happened to have a set of shims laying
around). I have stock x-mans though. Can't speak for headers.

There are
