A big part of mid to late 70s stuff is dry drum sounds. Even if it wasn't disco, dry drums were du rigour. So I'd shoot for dry drum sounds if I were you.

Also the sound of early digital reverbs and delays were used on those records. Check out a plugin that emulates the Lexicon 250 or early Eventide stuff, etc.

And of course tape... maybe a good tape emulation plugin (DUY tape, massey tape head, etc).
