Don't be discouraged by the rust, just be cautious of the moving parts that could cause a problem if they don't move smoothly. I see that you have the V.D.I in take. Make sure that your valve are nice and clean if you want the system to work properly. I had a 6-port 13b myself and if restored some power after freeing up the 6 port actuators. What year is the throttle body that your trying to salvage, because there are diffrences.

what can you save off that motor? depends on a couple of things.....
How much space do you have?
Are you married?/have your girlfriend living with you?
do you plan on working on many more n/a's or have you thought about going to a turbo car?
answer those and you'll know how many parts you can salvage....
but I would keep the full intake....the s5 manifolds are often purchased by guys with s4's looking to swap theirs....if not at least the upper most intake looks neat polished and on a shelf.
the actual core of the motor I would definetly keep too....if nothing else you can get a couple $$ from a rebuilder who would reuse the housings/ rotors / irons....or even a ceramit coating place would probably give you a buck or two for them.
