Mistakes I made

My 56' has been together for a month here are the mistakes I made, maybe it will help somebody just starting a build.
1) Didn't go straight to a mustang 2 front end, the PO had installed PS and front discs on the original I beam, it does not drive well enough so now I am backtracking to install IFS& rack & pinion.
2) Didn't go to serpentine pulleys because the PO had installed V belts, adding the air complicated this, now I wish I had changed.
3) Didn't change to 5 lug because the PO had installed new discs & rear drums so I bought 6 lug wheels, as it turns out I replaced the R. axles when I changed to posi and the F rotors will be replaced with the new IFS, I could have changed to 5 lug anyway. Hope it helps somebody.
