Hello have a 1969 Coronet and 73 Road Runner in process been too busy to finish up the RR over the last 5 years but trying get it moving. i am probably going to put it in black primer and get it on the road ..........it has air shocks probably going to replace those wth coil over shocks and if necessary change the leaf springs, put in an aluminum radiator and electric fan, finish the interior....looking for insights and recommendations

Che ck the upper supports on the air shocks. Make sure they are strong enough to support weight of car.

Welcome from Alberta, Canada. I'm sure you will find this group of Bird Lovers a good one!
IMHO if you change out the leaf springs, you won't need to use coil-over shocks. A good pair of gas-charged shock absorbers is a better fit on the '73 road runner. I had a '73 Satellite Sebring and I had to address the same saggy issue. I'm not a big fan of air shocks especially if the car is driven in the winter...
