Stripping SE bits

I've snagged nearly all I need off my junk SE and am curious what else I should grab. I was told a while back that the SE fuel tank is different with a different fill spout, but the spout looks the same. It has the regular fuel pump and an additional one inline, so will I want any of that to stay with a carbed 13B? Also, is the radiator for an SE any different? The wheels and suspension have been swapped off already. I know to grab the oil cooler, the motor's gone, and I'm gonna remove and degrease the tranny, then store for my 13B swap later on. Anything else I should grab?

The fuel tank is what you want to grab, it has a 3/8" outlet for fuel supply vs. 5/16".
Oil cooler, hose and mounting bracket. Although the engine is gone, is the front cross brace still there?
-SE had a inline fuel pump that was located the same spot as the stock carburetors cars did, so grab the tray and all the fuel pump is mounted on.
Coolant bottle is different, out of production. The air cleaner lid, it cool to have one cut out for autox events.

I know there's a rear tray just ahead of the gas tank that normally holds the fuel filter. On the junk SE, there's an inline pump spliced in there and the fuel filter's gone. Is the original aux. pump in the engine bay on the crossbrace? Also, will the crossbrace allow me to bolt a 13B in without an adapter? If so, I definitely want it.

The factory did not have a aux pump, only 1 high pressure fuel pump under the car where the carburetor fuel pump was mounted. The -Se has a fuel filter mounted to the inside of the body rail about 12" away from them pump, under the car.

Yes you want the front engine cross brace, it is slotted to mount a 13b into a 12a car.

The cables are under my GSL now, sorry. How much of the front brace comes out. It sounds stupid, I know, but I don't have the car in front of me. Does it just unbolt? Is it the same piece that the main members of the front suspension bolt into?

The front cross brace I was refering to is what mounts to the front cover of the engine and to the motor mounts on the car, so if the engine is gone it would only be 2 bolts holding it in. 14mm head I believe.
