Johnnynitro did the one with the 2nd gen clip. I am going to do mine next fall so I am interested in this question as well.

I replaced the ball joints from my local NAPA auto parts store. The Body bushings are from Energy Suspension (Hyperflex) Great stuff. I used them on my '67 as well. Nice tight feel. No more sway. I just bought the bushing kit from Energy Suspension too and installed that this weekend. It's been tricky for me 'cause i have to keep it straight when I'm buying parts for the '71 clip and the '69 body.
So, I got Body Mounts for the '69 and they work fine with the '71 subframe. The control arm bushings are of course all '71 and look great now that it's together. The Energy Suspension kits I bought from PAW. All of this should be online...soon.

I've said this before in another thread and I will always use these guys. Global-West make the best stuff out there (aside from one off custom pieces.

No squeaks. Less problems with bumpsteer. Will almost never wear out. No binding.....and so on.

They're a little more pricey, but the old saying "you get what you pay for" applies here too.

PAW does have them I know. I just bought 'em. I guess you can go to Global but for the same stuff (interlocking body mounts), you can get them from PAW for $98. And the upper and lower control arm bushings are $57.
So compare prices I guess. Th Energy Suspension stuff is really good.

check them out. http://energysuspension.com/pages/whatsnew.html

And also PAW
