I want to be able to take these down to bare metal and make them better than new before swapping in all new suspension at both ends without having to down my car for too long. Then I'll be on the hunt for some more power and a better transmission.

I'd be very surprised to hear it doesn't fit. I can't imagine there's a difference between the SL and the SLC. (Small print: there might be something I'm missing though!)
The anti-quat was fitted to the 560SL as well as the W126 (also 560SE{L}). I've got a get of the trailing arms and plan to fit them to my W123 - they slot into the W123 subframe - I just need to figure out something for the anti-roll bar. User greaser was the last person to contact me about this - I'm not sure how he's getting on with this though (he might be the first one to actually do this to a W123)
...anyway - forgetting about W123s for a minute - I can't see why there would be a problem for your SLC - you might need to add in an extra hole for the anti-roll bar but I reckon it should all bolt up. Still just in case I'm wrong - take the subframes off - measure and compare the parts side by side before you start making them beautiful.
If you find a source for the expensive bearings in the anti-squat system in the trailing arms please let me know.
