the engine and fuel system will need some work

This. Maybe a scumbag flipper would surface clean this car and resell it. But if you want this for your own car? Rip it all out. Budget for all the carpets, newly rebuilt (with foam that doesn't have mold in it) seats; including the rear, door cards, parcel shelf, dash complete from knee pads to top.
We are talking about our health here. Am I a "hippy"? Damn right. Mold can kill you. You do not want that sort of infection in your lungs. I had one many years ago in a rental unit that had a leaky roof and poor maintenance. My valuation of this car assumes that it is remedied correctly. Surface removal is a poor solution since the firtst time the air vents get opened there will be spores blowing right in your face( or your buyer's face). And you can't just blow that out. You need to strip it all the way down and clean or replace every single link in the system.
