you don't really need power steering, people have reported great success with radial tires. I wish I could say that, I bought radial tires (at least that is what the fella said they would be, as I had to special order them) I didn't actually read the letters on the side. I reported they looked great, but flat spotted really bad when cold, someone suggested they might not be radials, and sure enough they aren't. Which in itself wouldn't have been so bad except I have 2 perfectly good not radial tires that I had wanted to match in the first place. So I ended up spending an extra $400 on something I didn't even want to begin with. That being said, it isn't all that hard to steer regardless, the steering wheel is about 4 feet in diameter. For my money A/C could be left out, but then again I have spent a good portion of my life in Hawaii, Africa, Phillipines, Thailand, and worked on ships where the engine rooms are anywhere from 100-150 degrees, heat doesn't bother me. The only thing I would suggest is electric wipers, and the taller gears. Some say the vacuum wipers are fine, as long as you have a dual action fuel pump and a vacuum canister. But it seems to me if you need to add that much stuff to a system it doesn't really work that well. On top of my experience with vacuum wipers, which is why I went electric, they work regardless ... I have meant to put in disc brakes for about 25 years now, but the originals seem fine unless you are going through glacier national park and are on the brakes constantly, then they kind of go somewhere...That is my story. Hopefully you can glean some information from it.
