1968 GTS 340 with Carter AVS 4966S
Sounds like a good plan.
Old timers will use ground pepper to seal minor leaks.
The leak sealer used by GM on some of their problem engines has ginger and similar ground products.
Talks with the shop that will be recoring. These seem safe but they'll know from experience if some cause problems for their work.
Then we can figure out what the initial ought to be.
The challenge will be in execution.
Critical will be the spacing of the clutch. You will need to find measurements of an original fan clutch for a 1967-69 small block (273/318/340). Then you can compare with the spacing of the various aftermarket replacement fan clutches. You would think they would make replacements with exactly the same dimensions. Do not count on it. They may, or they may just sell one that is 'close enough' in their opinion.
You will also need the matching fan. Those are relatively easy to find used. The part number is often still on the fan so sellers know what they are.
Finally you will need different attaching bolts for clutch to the water pump and the fan to the clutch. I'm assuming Unified (US) standard hardware may be more difficult to obtain in Austria than in US.
(Unfortunately I have a later engine and water pump in my '67 so can not offer the dimensions you'll need)

I would be cautious about this. Use a product that can easily be cleaned out so it will not cause problems during soldering.

OK. Just don't use Prestone's coolant as , at least in the US, they only offer a HOAT. Find a IAT. Around me, the easiset way to buy a conventional IAT coolant is the store branded stuff at Autozone. Everything else is "universal". :(
Once its running, measure the timing at rpm from as slow as you can run it, and then at increasing rpm.

I don't see a problem in concept.

I've never used one.
Classic method of elimating a heater leak , or eliminating a heater completely. LOL.
