Get a Racing Beat exhaust. This comes with a header so the air pump can be removed. Upgrade to a 1981-1985 distributor and alternator. This will replace the points dizzy, alt, and external voltage regulator. You'll probably want to change your rear diff over to disc brakes. While you're at it, you'll probably want new struts and shocks and adjustable caster/camber platts.

I have a complete front and rear 1985 suspension with big brakes, lowering springs, and other goodies.
