If it's the original engine, it's a 305. If he has an electrical fan, those are the correct parts. But, that looks like the top of the engine. Those parts listed go in the pass. side head. You sure it's for the fan?

The thermostat housing often has one or two thermal VACUUM switches screwed into it or near it in carbureted applications. EGR, Purge Valve and EFE vacuum systems come immediately to mind. But for VACUUM LINES. Not electrical connections.

Check over in the Carburetor forum for vacuum line diagrams to see which it is.

Electric fan switch definitely goes in the passenger side cylinder head between the two rear spark plugs.
