I would keep it. There are plenty of things connected to it that you need to make the engine work and it is easy to reuse in a swap.

fire away with thte questions. A good rule of thumb with your donor is to keep it if it looks like you may even remotely use it. It's a lot better to keep stuff than to go have to buy it again.

I agree.

Don't be in a big hurry to get rid of the donor car too. You would be surprised at what trivial things you will come up with that you could have used from it after the car is gone.
