LT1 swap - parts car about to go to junkyard, what else should I keep?

Budget is pretty tight, I have a 95 formula that I've stripped and it's about to go to get scrapped, is there anything else I should hold onto to save a buck?

I kept engine, trans + mount, harness+ECM

I will still pull gas tank+pump, y-pipe, may keep the stock LT1 catback too

anything else? I'll be perfectly happy with the stock 275hp for now, so no need for tuning right? as far as the computer is concerned it should continue to think it's in an LT1 car

should I keep the shifter?

driveshaft?

any need for interior harness?

If it was me, I would grab everything that is in decent shape and sell it. (Why let good parts go to the yard if you can make a buck or too from them.) some food for thought- dash, seats, interior, tail lamps if ok, body panels if ok .... etc
