Directors and radars were quite standard on all USN carriers of the period. Your best bet would be, as JSB said, look for the late war Essex configuration, or the Midway class as built for the correct parts. For example the main search radar would be the SK or SK-2. The height finder radar would be SP or SM. The 5"/38 gun director would be Mk.37 with Mk.12 and Mk.22 radars and for the 40 mm quads you can use the GFCS.63 system
More knowledgeable members of the USN can be helpful more than myself.
