Didn't read the whole thread yet so might be repeating things, sorry if I am.

No front head on kick, don't be afraid to add dampening.

O ring or piece of paper on snare (probably want emperor or equivalent for the top head).

Drums from that era help but may not be a possibility.

Wood snare for sure

Those sizes of kick and snare probably won't give you the desired result.

Dead room

try out a ribbon on kick if you have one around.
