you don't need anything. ar15 is very ergonomic for lefties. i'd leave it alone. i've probably shot 15-20k rounds left handed and not a single ejected case has ever hit me.
if you must use a 3-point sling, be careful not to cover the ejection port with the sling. i shoot with a 3-point sling and it's never happened to me, but I'm told it can cause a malf.

Stag makes true lefty AR stuff.
You could install your Bushy barrel, FSB, handguard etc parts in a Stag lefty receiver, Buy the lefty specific parts from Stag and have a true lefty AR.
Sell off the Bushy receiver and righty parts to recover some money.
I think? you would need a lefty receiver, BCG, ambi-safety and the ejection port parts.
Just a thought
Update, maybe sell your Bushy upper and use the proceeds to buy a Stag lefty Upper.

If you don't want to do that Stag thing, add a Norgon ambidextrious magazine catch for about $80.00 and an ambidextrious safety lever for about $25.00
The built in deflector on the A2 uppers works well enough but you could add a detachable shell bag for about $30.00 too.

The only truly necessary item is the case deflector. Anything else is optional.
applekev, I too am a southpaw and I too own a few ar-15s. I like the AR-15 BECAUSE IT IS PERFECTLY AMBIDEXTROUS OUT OF THE BOX.
I shoot from prone, bench and standing with my ar-15. I find absolutely no problem with shell casings or anything of that nature. I really don't even know what a shell deflector is, but if it's got the ability to put your brass in a neat pile, I'll take 3 of them, one for each AR I own. I have, however, shot a bull pup design ar-15 and found it to be horrible for lefties.
I'd be careful about shooting a bolt action rifle left handed, but the AR is perfect for lefties.
