I have converted my 65 Notch to IRS and the biggest problem I ran into was the rear engine mounts. If you weld them in to the existing sides of the engine compartment you have to shorten the bar that goes from mount to mount. This allows you to keep the existing duct work that you are pulling cool air through to cool the engine. This does present a problem with clearence for the elbows that connect the fan housing to the upper heat exchangers. I still haven't solved this problem yet. The other option would be to cut into the ductwork and resess the mounts. This would fix the problem with having to shorten the bar and the elbow clearance problem but would create a problem getting cool air to the engine. I hope this helps!
