Radio, ashtrays and cruise will be common to all 71-73 88 and Ninety Eight.
What vent louvers do you need? Dash or decklid? Dash vents are common to 71-73 B-C-E car.
You'll have to get the 60-40 seat from a Ninety Eight or 74-later Delta. Other 71-76 GM B & C bodies can also source this seat. You'll just have to upholster it in Olds fabric and pattern.
Washer bottle is used 71-76 88-98-Toro. Tilt-tele steering column is common 71-76 B&C car and most often found in Ninety Eights. Leave the rim-blow alone- it is more trouble than it would ever be worth. It will be hard enough finding a good standard horn wheel that the woodgrain insert isn't busted out of.
RH remote mirror not offered until 74. You can use a 74-76 RH remote by using the correct pad on the mirror to match the angle of the door skin. Fusick may have them. Don't know how you'd mount the control handle as I don't know of any dash escutcheon that will work with the 71-73 dash.
Good luck.

Thanks for the info. Some of this I know, rest will be helpful.

Sorry, I didn't answer sooner.
Thanks for the info and advice.
Had a '69 98 with T&T & rim blow horn. Had that car for 10 years, never had any problem with the horn. Years later, I would expect time would have taken it's toll on this accessory.
As for the right side remote mirror, I think the lever to adjust it would be mounted in the door panel. I have a remote on the drivers side, and that's where the lever is.
Also looking for a clock for this car.
Thanks again.

My father had a '76 Cadillac that had a passenger side remote mirror, and the control was located in the center of the dash. I would think that Olds would have done something similar. After all, what good is a passenger side remote mirror if the driver can't reach the control from the driving position?

I have a manual mirror now, so guess I'll have to re-think about the remote for now.
Thanks for your response.

I didn't come up with the ash trays yet, but I'm still looking 
A few years ago I came across I think a 1976(?) Cutlass that had a passengerside remote sport mirror. It was in a wrecking yard and I was determined to get those mirrors! Man O man, the passenger remote cable wound up under the dash in impossible places before it came out just left of center of the dash where the driver could adjust it
I sold/swapped them long ago, but that's the only passengerside remote I've come across. John

Just trying to round up parts for next year. Thanks for the info on the mirror. That sounds like it would be a real project to install.
I'm trying to keep the car as close to original as I can, but want to add a few items to it that I like.
