Overall that looks pretty good. Someone must have changed the air cleaner somewhere along the line, the 55 2BBL air cleaner should look like the attached photo.
looks like my breather is factory, some must have had the option. It just like yours accept it has an additional cover with the slits in front. see link below

The breather is correct except someone added the top cover from a 56, Not an option. The 55 & 56 2 barrel breathers were the same except the cover was added for the 56 model year.

The power steering generator and pump look original too. Notice the rear generator brace that goes over the valve cover, it's unique to the 55 models because the generator has solid mount end frames and requires this brace to keep everything stable. Later (56-59) power steering generators had the rubber grommet type mounts and did not use the brace.
If you post the stamped info on the oval Delco tag on the gen I can decipher it for you. The pump also has a date code, it's usually stamped in one of the mounting ears, post that info too.
Whereabouts in Texas are you? I'm just east of Dallas.
