REALLY LAME QUESTION

I am about to scrap a 2004 imola red 4.4i w/151k miles on it. I KNOW...it SHOULD be saved. THAT is why I bought a currently 6th e53. HOWEVER, the engine has bad compression, barely running, no throttle response, suspect tranny, 9-owners before me and some vandalism from theft recovery. While I DID try to save it, I could not get engine running any better after the first few days with new gas, MAF, coils...so now it HAS to go! My question is, what should I pull off, besides the CATS before scrapyard picks it up??? I usually have in spare parts what I need to keep my fleet running well enough that I don't have to scramble for higher ticket items. Can anyone recommend the top 5-10 things that would be worthwhile to remove and flip to recoup close to purchase price? I'm keeping headliner and hood, but just about anything else I pulled would be redundant, if kept for storage. I need to cash out. Any input is appreciated! Thanks!
