Any plumbers here?

Wondering if there are any plumbers around to help me with some questions. Looking at a house that is older. Place was built in 1936 and under all the sinks it has S traps. Is this a big deal today? There are also no vents, the stack is vented to the roof but there are no vents on the individual sinks and whatnot. I ran the water on all the sinks and everything seems to drain ok there is a little gurgling I guess. Installing vents would be a major project on this place and I couldn't do it. Are air admittance valves ok to use or is that asking for trouble?

The only way to get it to code would be to tear up walls and run vents to the roof I'm just not sure this particular code would be worth it on this old house.
