If it's all original, it's going to need a lot more than a brake line. Are the calipers leaking? Originals got pitted over time so it will probably need them. Go with the stainless sleeved units.

I'm aware. To be drivable it will need a brake line. I plan on going through it. Will run into a bunch of other things I'm sure. And thank you, stainless sleeved units is good info!

I believe so. 17 years ago I bought an '80 with 72K miles on it. I ended up replacing just about everything on it. Parts are pretty cheap and they are easy to work on. So have fun.

Going back a while I picked up.a '76, 4 spd, base 350. Mine was a nice tight cruiser, problem free while I owned it. Only criticism I had is that it was grossly underpowered for what was supposed to be Amerca's premier sports car. Acceleration was terrible, but once up to cruising it was a nice car. Best wishes! By the way, nice find and have fun!

Good luck with your new ride! I had a new 73 back in the day and it was a base 350 with a 4 speed also. I loved that car. It was the most reliable Corvette I ever had overall. It was not the fastest but ran just fine for me at the time. I had it for 3 years. 
Good luck with all the items that need attention. Keep us posted on your progress.
