Factory power steering and air conditioning. Yes, power brakes, too. It has the 14 inch wheels and drum brakes, but I want to convert to 15" and 4-wheel disc. 289 CI, automatic transmission, and coupe.

Well I would start with changing the power steering fluid and brake fluid and then motor oil and coolant.

Check if the car has hidden rust near the rear wheel. Its a common place to rust

I stripped everything and sandblasted years ago and then life got in the way. I sprayed a coat of epoxy enamel and it's held up well. There is minor rust in both rear wheel wells and I'll have to practice my welding before i tackle that. I welded a new front passenger floor pan when I first got it, but it's not the cleanest job, so I may redo that. I'm going to replace the entire braking system. I had painted the engine bay and dropped a fresh donor engine in, but I'm going to pull it back out while I finish the body work and front end.
