I too would suggest tie rods, center link, idler arm, control arm bushings, and ball joints. Make sure you check the rag joint in the steering shaft, one of the most overlooked items that make one of the biggest differences.

The suspensions on the 2nd gens are pretty darn good out of the box, and starting with it freshed up is a good thing. Once beyond that (the above), shocks would be next, and springs if you can afford it. Body bushings make a big difference too, and I personally suggest solids, but replacing them is a must if it still has the originals.

Some of the car mags recently did a build ups on a mid-70s camaro, addressing the suspension particularly, Hot Rod had F-Bomb, PHR had G/28, and there are several others out there too, still online and you can ref those.
