Congratulations on your acquisition.

Parts are still available form many standard suppliers.
Injectors and D-Jet stuff you can find quite a few places, but new prices are steep. Fortunately, it is relatively simple and reliable. See P Singher's tutorial on d-jet at swedishclassics.com tech archive.

Brakes are always fun, expecially in the cold. Lines snap, rusted bolts break, etc.

The 164 of that year I believe has vented front disks, which can be pricey when found. There are lots of threads here about the swapping brakes around. Basic determination I think is Girling calipers vs ATE calipers, check both front and rear.

A/C? All seals need to be upgraded for R134. If the lines are disconnected, probably should shange them anyhow. Lots of aftermarket/swap compressor solutions for that. Hang on to your brackets.
