Welcome...from a just a bit north of y'all. You won't even need 60-70 lbs in them shocks...I have 30 in mine and it gives me a 2 inch lift...and all the BS about broken upper shock mounts is just that!..Don't put 150 psi in them and you'll be just fine. As to mods, it's up to you, but, I would do safety upgrades, like the dual master cylinder with or w/o front disks (A bodies are small cars and really don't need disks, unless you're going to rally the car.) A dome light is a safety feature, especially at night. Electronic ignition, etc that can removed later if desired, are good upgrades too.
