I have searched extensively and haven't found data on the physical properties of A2 Tool Steel after hardening. I am looking for information on Modulus and yield after hardening. Thank you,

Modulus is a physical property, and HT condition will not change it.
Yield is a mechanical property, and at this hardness there really isn't much of a yield.
I would be surprised if you can get any measurable elongation at failure, it will be very brittle.
