Just a regular 1 piece driveshaft. I use ICT Billet adapters on the engine that allows you to mount traditional SBC engine side mounts to the block, and regular frame side mounts off a 73-81 Camaro (the early 2nd gens had different style frame mounts).

The steam line can be plumbed a few ways. I currently have mine going into a spacer mounted between the water pump and the block as I needed to space my water pump out to match the accessory drive. You can also drill and tap a small barbed fitting on the top of the water pump and run the lime that way. You can also install an adapter in the upper radiator hose to run the line there.

Something like this:
