Advice subpanel Can I reuse the aluminum feeder wire when I replace a sub-panel?

Photo https://ibb.co/Nj0nBFp https://ibb.co/P62Q1jN So I'm re wiringrewiring my 1957 house because there was no ground. I I have a main panel and a subpanel in the crawlspace that currently only give power to the gas furnace. I want to add the air conditioner on the subpanel (30amp breaker),a a 20 amp breaker for microwave and some outlets in kitchen, a 15amp for furnace, and a 20 amp for my bathrooms outlets. 

Can I keep aluminium wire feeder  ? What size breaker at the main panel  ? I understand I need a ground kit for my subpanel, can I install it anywhere in the panel  ? Thank you.
