Yes those are pretty much made of unobtanium. I got my set in a package deal with the hoses etc. When I bought my car 20+ years ago, all the underhood AC stuff was missing. Finding & buying back 440 engine, one year only stuff is quite costly!

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...
