I've got no idea,

But in terms of Spatial simulation or Room Reverb (and workin ITB), perhaps you could try the Waves "AbbeyRoad Chambers",
or the Eventide "Tverb", which seem to focus specifically on obtaining oldschool tones with room echo/effects..

The effect may be too apparent, but it could also give you ideas in setting your own rooms/mics.

Besides, I guess you could use sensibly placed Tape sims on some of the tracks..

And in terms of EQ (besides all the retro Channel Strip/Desk emulations available..),
I say you're better using Soft Analog-like EQs, nothing too Linear or Strong.

Perhaps something like the "Oxford Native EQ", which has a certain Roundness/Softness that I find pleasant,
and quite useful for cutting the low freqs on Bass or the Master.

As for Compressors, I really can't think of one that will give you a true Analog sound..
But besides the usual "Fairchild" or "1176" repros, maybe you could try the Stillwell "Rocket", Softube "FET Compressor",
or why not just a regular Waves H-Comp..
