Update:

I just recently did my sway bar bushings, and man did that freshen up the handling and suspension. It drove really nice when I got it and even better once I did the front and rear shocks. But with the new sway bar bushings all around, it handles better and takes bumps better than I could ever imagine. Also did the front brake pads and put new gauges in. On mine the needles were all faded and the backdrop went from being silver to a dingy gold color. Also fixed the heater vacuum lines so now no heat blows on my feet when I'm driving unless I want it too.  :D

Pictures to follow.

Vacuum hoses all scattered under my dash . Apparently the vacuum connector turns to dust after 27 years lol

Finished product. And finally no heat blowing on me while I'm driving  :w00t: . It especially sucks when its like 90+ degrees as it has reached in Michigan this summer way to many times to count.

Then there is the sway bar bushings. The retainer bushings weren't bad to do at all, but the end links were a b**ch to line up  :pound: .
