Nice Corvette!!!

I would add the Vintage Air which will certainly help for a sale in Texas and also you already have a NOM so the purists will likely not care.
For the PS, I have a 454 68 NOM with no PS and no PB, and it steers and brakes just fine. Only when moving very slow and steering a lot, do I notice the no PS. However, no leaking PS hoses and an open engine bay is a plus for me. I would add the VA as a/c is a necessity in Texas and Louisiana in July and advertise on Craigslist and ebay (say also for sale locally). Hope this helps and good luck with whatever you decide. You might also list the Corvette in the for sale section here.

I added the Borgeson PS to my '69. Love it, made a world of difference to me. Relatively easy install other than had to unbolt the column in order the get the rag joint to fit right right (which is covered in the instructions). Would do again.
Bought parts individually from multiple ebay vendors to keep costs as low as possible (box, rag joint, hoses, PS bracket) , and I already had a PS pump from another project so I was in for around $500ish.
If you have headers there may be an issue with the Borgeson fit. Some do and some don't fit.
