Default 73 Big Block 4 spd

Three questions for you vette experts out there.

1. What type of bulb goes into the kick panel sockets that light up the floors.

2. I have all the A/C parts on my car but it doesn't work. Is it more cost effective to get it overhauled or replace it with Vintage Air?
This is not a show car, but a very well maintained weekend driver.

3. The last four numbers that should be on the on the front of my engine block are not there. It reads 13s41 and that's all. What could this mean? Is it a factory replacement block? 134S1 is correct for a 73 454 according to the black book.

Thanks in advance for your advice.
