You keeping the resident transmission or angling for something a little sturdier? If the 229 was mated to a TH350 then you should be golden. If it is TH200-R4 it will still bolt up but you have the TV cable to play with.
The rad shroud is shorter. When scoring it be sure you grab the rubber shoes or cradles or pockets or whatever GM calls them, two for the bottom and two for the top. If you score a junk yard refugee shroud take a close look at the flanges on both halves, A lot of shrouds got mishandled and damaged by mechanics too eager to take the time to properly disassemble them;usually cracked or missing corners on the flanges. OEM they are likely to be riveted together and those rivets are a pain to cut away without melting the plastic but it can be done. Last time I cut them I had a spray bottle of very cold water and continously sprayed the rivet and surroundind material to keeo them cold. As subs for the rivets I went to the auto supply shop and picked up a handful of panel clips and the matching screws; either 10 or 11 mm hex heads on them. You can also oversize the holes to 1/4 inch and just use 1/4 by 1/2 or 3/4 inch long bolts and buts. same-same.
Motor mounts? Most of what still can be found in the yards tend to have the rubber inserts totally clapped out. The halves are only plug welded together so they can be split and new poly-urethane inserts put in and then re welded back together. Just be careful with the heat. The front crossmember ought to have the correct set of holes in the correct pattern, that will accept the V-8 mounts. already drilled in it. The 229 bolts for the pads to frame are metric. You can try and harvest them for re-use or just carefully cut them away with a suitable tool. The resident frame mounts match what you will be looking for to use with the V-8 then use them for the guinea pigs for your new poly-U inserts. You can use 7/16ths caps and nuts in place of the metric trash for the install, just check the holes ahead of time cause sometimes they need a little rat tail file love to trim them up a little so that the bolt will drop easier (and sometimes not); the fun will come when you are fishing the bolts or nuts into position. Easier to do if the various hard lines that run through the access holes are absent orr can be had from underneath but the lower control arm is a nuisance. Stock install had the bolts going in from underneath and the nuts out on the mount. They did it that way because those mounts got installed before the suspension did.
Also think it possible that the shells or clams or ? that are bolted to the block and that mate to the pads could be re-used as well. Thinking here is that the 229 is just a 350 with two cylinders cut away meaning the exterior architecture is otherwise identical; a good chunk of the guts of it, oil pump for example are straight out of the SBC catalogue if I am seeing this correctly.

Thank You;
With this said if I remember correctly the Automatic Transmission is a TH350, but I still have to limit the HP to 215 maximum, The seller of the Engine told me that with the Intake Manifold that's on it, it would make around 200 HP, Yes I should be fine so long as I don't raise HP up any more. Some time in the future I will be replacing the Transmission to handle 400 HP or more.
I just gave the Mechanic all the parts that I acquired this past Monday, I still have yet to hear from him on the "Engine Test" he wants to do to it. Everything ranging from Motor Mounts, Radiator, Hoses, Exhaust Manifolds and much much more that I could think of myself that the car would need I handed over to the shop. I have to have a Mechanic put it as I don't have a shop or garage of my own, much less the equipment needed, this will be my only regret, but at least I will be able to pick the brain of the Mechanic on all he's done so I have that knowledge. Still have Body work and Interior that I will be doing myself once the weather gets a tad more warmer.
I am still in search of a Fan Shroud. Anything 350 wise, even Trucks, Pickups etc are hard to come by out here, what I have seen of the very few junk yards out here in my state are mostly 454's and those shrouds. . Maybe someone in the community has one I could purchase from them, Trying to find an after market piece that doesn't exist as they are pushing electric fans.
