the A Frame and knuckles will need slight modifications befor using.
Keep all these parts as they are hard to replace.
Also the torsion bar bolts,final drive,costant velocity joints.

Knuckles are OK if the car has disk brakes. Early Toro/Eldo upper
control arms have only 3 holes for mounting the upper ball joints.
