Default 68 Camaro, air shocks WTF???

So im working on a 68 camaro build, plan on dropping a LSx some time in the hopefully near future, have plans for the brakes. Im baffled as to what to do with the rear airshocks that were installed. I currently have the stock leaf spring with the airshocks, what would be my best option to avoid having to fill this thing up with air every 3 days, Keep in mind money will be a slight issue as i am entering my last year of college, i just cant wait any longer to get this thing going to use as my DD and get rid of my cursed VW Jetta.

Air shocks were what was popular and readily available back then. My dad always talks about buying chevelles, and throwing air shocks on them to lift up the rear end. I tell him that's retarded

LOL dude it is retarded, i mean you get a mean lookin stance, I guess, but it just not practical ive replaced lines and shocks and they still leak i just want to move back to the good ol gas shocks. also is there a better spring to move to as far as that single leaf holding up the back, when my shocks get low the right tire scrapes the inner wheel well.
