GPS? I've flown all over the East coast in my no-electrics 1941 T-Craft with no GPS and never got lost or felt like a GPS was needed.
The radio is optional but being able to announce your position in the pattern is a big safety improvement.
You didn't mention a transponder and since so many pilots are relying on traffic avoidance systems that require a transponder, I'm surprised you didn't include transponder.
BTW, I know of two local homebuilders that are not installing transponders as they do not plan on flying w/in a mode-C veil and their radios will be handheld units to they can talk to their buddies when doing formation flights.

All the added Items are nice and I would add as standalone as much as possible
The Attitude Indicator is also nice but a good compass add knowing how to use it is almost as good.
If I only had one of these things and I was in the soup give me a compass.
And I was with only a compass fot 45 minuts.
