You answered your own question about all the trim. I agree for the most part with you as well. To me, by the late 60s and into the 70s all the excessive trim is almost a distraction so I like seeing it deleted completely or reduced. No wheel well trim for sure. On older cars, the trim seems to fit the design and personality of the cars more. Early 60s Impalas come to mind.
I really like this blue you've chosen. I think it'll look great. Don't over analyze this or keep scrutinizing your choice after you've painted the car. Lay on it nicely and as best you can and it'll be great. You don't want to keep questioning your decision after it's done. That might lead you to dislike your choice instead of enjoying the car.
I also like the charcoal accents idea. In general, I like seeing the tail panels on 1st gen Camaros an accent color or blacked out. It just gives it a different attitude. Hard to explain. I just know I like it.
Keep the vent windows. You can always darken the window trim to make it stick out less. I personally like vent windows on vehicles unless you go really hardcore and start doing major body line changes. Then deleting them almost seems necessary.
Good luck.
