Are any of the suspension components shared with a Firebird?

All of them, this ‘74 should have the same subframe as a first-gen Firebird. Rear end and springs should interchange as well.

By 1975 the X-body used the second-gen F-body subframe and suspension.

I did a little cross checking this afternoon and this looks to be correct - at least according to part numbers. I did find some tie rod ends, but availability is not as wide as I expected for as popular as the platform is. Moog doesn't appear to make them anymore.

Looks like the interior is going to be a little bit of a challenge, but that can wait. The first priority is making it safe for him to drive.

Here are a few pics of the underside. It's super solid. Someone used the existing single exhaust crossover and made a dual exhaust system. It actually sounds pretty good.
