Welcome to the site. Lots of good folks here. Its usually customary to introduce yourself, when you're new on the site, and give us some info on your car.
The 572 is a pretty serious engine. I'm assuming that you're talking about one of the GM crate engines here. What are your goals for the car? Is it going to be strictly a race car? Do you intend to drive it on the street? Do you want to keep any power accessories? Are you concerned about handling?
The more info that you're able to provide, the better the information that you'll get in return. Just my $0.02.

The cooling system,transmission,rearend,brakes,front springs etc. will all need to be upgraded.
There were some good questions raised by clean8485 above,if you state your goals it will give us a better idea on how we can help.
But a big block will fit,there are a few of us here that have them.
Heres a picture of mine;

The frame will need to be boxed and braced or you will twist that car like a pretzel with that much torque.
not sure what a power accessory is. and yes one of the gm crate engines. I want to turn this into a race car but also a daily driver. you know bragging rights.
I cant help with the AC question,mine was an original AC car but all the parts had been removed when I bought it.
My cooling system consists of a 4 core rad,clutch fan and,IIRC,a 7 blade fan,full radiator shroud,Milodon Hi Flow 180 degree thermostat and a Weiand aluminum high volume water pump.
Works great and never overheats even on the hottest summer day.
