I guess if someone is a collector and looking for a "bone stock" vehicle, then its a negative. But for driveability it would seem that these are good modifications. What do you think?

Thanks!

You answered your own question. If you're hung up on originality and "correctness", then it would probably be a negative. But for driveability, convenience, dependability, etc., then there's nothing wrong with any of those modifications. It all comes down to what you want, and what you will be happy with.
