GURPS High-Tech (4e) page 20. A mechanical computer is complexity -5, so a Complexity 1 mechanical computer is 4,000 lbs and $1,000,0000. Thus, the statting has already been done for you :)

For a lot more about the Analytical Engine, and some excellent cartoons, see The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage.
