Rebuild or alterkation?

I need some adive or tips...

I am tearing down the front end of my car and the way I see it, I have two options. I am tearing it down primarily to clean it up and get it ready for paint.

1.) just replace all the bushings and call it good. I can upgrade to disk breaks down the road when money is better.

2.) Just wait until money is better (probably 2 years or so) and get a front end replacement that comes with new steering, brakes, basically the whole shibang.

How many people have done opttion 2 and what is the best kit? How much am I looking at spending for one on a 69 Dart with a 340? Is it worth the money? I am leaning towards option 2 even though I know 1 is far cheaper.
