What all should I get from my ‘98 camaro donor car

I’m Swapping the Ls1 out of the 1998 camaro z28 automatic donor I bought (car was rear ended) into a 1948 Chevy pickup on an s10 frame.
I’d like to use all I can from the donor car since I have the whole thing.
I got the engine out and just unplugged the 3 connections on the passenger side firewall to get the harness out.
My main concern is what else I need from the donor? It’s a cable throttle body, and I’m assuming I should get the cables for that and fuse box, and I may be able to use the electric cooling fans also, but I’m unsure what wiring and components would be good to get for the in cab wiring, and things like cruise control. I’ve got an ididit column with ignition on the dash.

Re: What all should I get from my ‘98 camaro donor car

I recommend anything you can unbolt or remove. The gas pedal/cable assembly, brake light switches, cross member etc are all candidates for cannibalization. Interior wire, relays, switches, mounting brackets can be a huge help while trying not re-invent the wheel. Its super nice to ponder a problem with the previous mount or accessory in hand. The details always kill you on a build.

Okay, I think I’ll just get all the wiring that is connected on either end of the harness.
Are the a/c parts worthwhile like the accumulator? I’d like to go with vintage air and read that their systems use a different style compressor, etc. anyways?
