No clutch parts.

Flywheel maybe......

Motor mounts and harness, almost never. A "pull out" maybe, longblock no.

I don't think there is a shortblock rotary engine. On a piston motor, longblock includes the cyl heads, while the shortblock is only the block and rotating assembly.

shortblock on a rotary is usually just the keg

Correct, most refer to the shortblock as only the keg(Irons, Housings, Front Cover, front hub). Longblock is usually everything needed to drop in and run.
