Ford cars from the early 70's had the brake hose mounted to the two top right bolts on the carrier. That will move your brake hose to the center for frame clearance.

I would definitly remove the old spring perches and shock mounts. If you cut off the spring pads cleanly, they can be reused later. They are not that expensive to get new though.

Remove the old stuff, it just clutters up the look later if you don't. Be carefull not to score the tube when you cut off the old stuff. It is really thick, but a score line could become a point of failure later.

Cut off all the old mounts - looks ugly anyways. You can easily move the brake lines by simply running braided flexable steel hose - or reuse what you have by just rewelding the bracket to the rear of the axel
