Restore Older Cinelli

I have what I believe to be a 1969 Cinelli frame set. I am considering having a re chroming and new paint on the frame. I am a frame builder. I looked into it and it looks like in the 70s, every year Cinelli would add braze ons to their frames. I believe it started with bb cable guides wb cage bosses then downtube shift and then top tube cable guides. (OK I might not have the order exactly right). THE BOTTOM LINE: Would it devalue it as a bike, if I were to add these braze ons to this frame? I would put the bb guides over the bb, to at least have it look like bikes from the 60s/ 70s.
