Default Important parts to remove from 95 coupe before crushing

Hi. Long time member here. I have a 95 acura legend coupe that I am going to take off some parts before I send it to the crusher. I dont have the space other wise i would part it out slowly or even fix it.
The tile is lost so that too

The body is pretty straight so I will be removing to keep
Bumpers
Trunk
Fenders
Lights
Type 2 engine and ecu
Cluster and door.
Anything else I should keep??
Auto tranmission is broken?
Interior is trashed

I am looking for ideas like hard to find parts (ie coupe specific)

I need to clarify. I dont want to sell the parts I want to horde them as I still have 2 coupes and at my peak even had 4.

They are hard to find in Eugene Oregon

in general, remove and keep everything that isn't trash. even small things like door handles (interior and exterior) are worth keeping bc they break and replacements are hard to find. All of the windows are worth keeping, especially the windshield if you can remove it without cracking it.

What Richard said keep as much as you can. I know you said space is a concern and I can relate. I have a storage unit now for certain things.

Sheesh, I just got my account password reset and haven't been on since 2011...
Anyhow, I have my 95 Coupe that got a total engine/trans swap but the mechanic couldn't get it to stop running hot (possibly the thermostat), but it hasn't moved in years. I'd like to get it worked on, but can't find a decent mechanic or restorer locally here in Ga. Any help?

Either go to the dealership and install a OEM thermostat (Aslong as the fans work) or you have a blown headgasket. Which at that point pull the motor rebuild it and install or buy a good motor to rebuild and install
