Keep it simple ________. Fill in the blank. Pressure test and re-surface is what I recommend, maybe a valve job IF you can locate valve stem seals. The bottom end of the B engines are bullet proof, and I've never had to replace a piston or piston ring. The original engine in my 74 had a sloppy wrist pin, which only made noise when cold, but after 200k miles that engine was tired. If you plan on building a racing engine, then it may be best to replace all the lower end stuff.
Carbon deposits can be cleaned up with a wire wheel on a grinder, or maybe even some brake clean. A rich running engine could explain the presence of such deposits.
