Can someone tell me where to find the ICs for the Canon AE-1?

Another old broken camera perhaps.

I might sell my AE1 eventually, since the light meter doesn't work accurately :(

These were custom made and unless you can find NOS, the only answer is donor bodies. However as you can pick up good condition working AE-1s quite cheaply, the economics of an IC transplant are questionable. At the very least you should transplant the whole flexi circuit.

My preferred method is to transfer the better cosmetic bits onto the working basic body.
