I am not currently parting any 79's, I do have a compressor and Lines from a 79 but no clue if they are any good.
I have read that the 79 used different line fittings than the later years and are more prown to leak. So you may want to change it over to a later year AC setup.

I have not decided on it. I have two more and Have not ever needed one or sold one. So I kind of hate to have it sitting around for the rest of time.

Heh. I thought this was going to be another one of those "I can't get my car to run so I'm going to say that it's going to the crusher to see if that will get you to help me" threads. Glad I was wrong.
Say, the arches of the wheel wells look like they're in good shape (at least, the driver's side does). Would you consider sawzalling a good chunk of quarter off so that I can repair my rusty wheel well lips?

Sure, Take a look at what I just sold to Capt Murph https://www.rx7club.com/1st-generation-specific-1979-1985-18/cutting-out-wheel-well-430223/
Pm me and we can figure out what you need.

I picked up the car in november of 03.
I tried to sale it whole until about April 04. Then started parting it. Finished and put it on the Trailer two weeks ago.
I would say 10 good hours to get it to that point. maybe 20 if it is your first time.
What really helped was I went ahead and put wood blocks under it, so I did not have to jack it up each time I worked on it.

Don't you salvage the lock sets? What about door handles? By the way, new bronze tinted windshields are nearly impossible to find, in case you ever run across one.

I was going to get the lock set but the Rear was not any good and the door ones were soso. I did keep the ignition with key, it may come in handy some day. I also keept the wheels and the stearing Box, The box was good and tight. I had some handles already and was out of time so I let them go with the car.
I generaly throw away all the AC stuff, Never sold any of it except for one Compressor.
