Would this be possible? Use everything 69 spec and use the transformers for the 67 spec superleads? Maybe drop the filtering down to 32uf all around or would this cause ghosting and other issues and not be possible?

Yes. They're electrically the same.

As far as the lower filtering, that's something you'll have to try out and see for yourself. But electrically it will work.

I think at first I'll build a stock 69 superlead and then I might or might not change the OT, most likely not, all of these amps sound amazing stock to me.
