Welcome to the site! Pics will be asked by multiple members, so I'll get that request out of the way! 
As far as your question goes, wheels and tires almost always make a statement. If you browse the tech thread sticky at the top of the page you'll find a wheel and tire thread, that will give you an idea of what works and what doesn't. Here is the direct link:

As for the "modern but old look", I think the Magnum 400 wheels would accomplish that if you still have the 4 lug pattern. There are a few IIs with these wheels that I've seen pics of, they look pretty good.

Looks pretty complete with the exception of the radiator overflow tank and the elusive fan shroud. Congratulations on your find!!

It's an ignition control module. Someone swapped in an HEI so that piece won't be needed unless you plan to take it back to original.
Yeah, they're not as supported in the aftermarket unless you're looking for front suspension parts. But they're doable as long as you have patience and are able to locate hard to find parts if you're in need.
Welcome to the II world. Looks like it's mostly complete. Seeing the belt still on the ac compressor is a rarity.
Make sure the fan shroud is reinstalled or get an electric fan. Better yet reinstall the shroud and get an electric fan. These things overheat easily and need all the help they can get.

If you upgrade to an electric fan you need to upgrade the alternator, too. The old ones don't have enough amps to keep up with the electric fan in the long term. Often overheating comes from dirty cooling passages, wrong ignition setting (or something else). If overheating is an issue (if the shroud is installed) good flushing of the cooling system can help a lot.
In my opinion on old cars, there are two things to look closely in the beginning: ignition and cooling. Most problems come from both areas.
By the way, I like the current mad max look a lot
I would put on some nice black steelies and get a good set of tires... But I think that is my special liking.
