Default What to keep?

SO to start off I blew up my xj. It was a wiring issue and I finished it off with a poof and a plume of white smoke.

I decided to find a new rig same year, and motor. Only difference is that it is a 5 speed instead of a 4 speed. Well plus it has a Dana 44 and mine had the 35.

I have promised the shell of the dead one away to someone. And have already swapped most of the parts that are within a year old.
I have already pulled and swapped the whole starting system, tires, seats.

My question is, what besides the obvious would you keep or have you kept in the past when you had your own parts rig?

I know it might seem silly to some of you but this is my first time having an extra rig, and I can see how easy it would be to leave something behind that I would want later.
I don't have room to keep the whole parts rig.

Thanks guys.

Pull interior trim parts. You know like the small stuff that ends up getting broken when your trying to work on it. Of course this only works if both rigs have the same interior color.

Pull ALL sensors/pcm basically anything electrical that can be unbolted and unplugged. Having spares of everything will save tons of headaches when your troubleshooting on the new rig.
