Complete list of stuff I striped from the donor Golf when I pulled my 1.8L
for my van, the Jetta should be similiar.
1. Engine ; )
2. Complete wiring harness:  I pulled the entire thing all the way to the
fusebox, just to make sure I didn't confuse any wiring.
3.  Fuel pump assembly, I just mounted the whole thing, filter and all
under the van
4.  The vacuum storage tank thingy, on the Golf was mounted under one of
the main frame members in the engine bay.  I don't know if you need it, but
I plumbed it into the system just the same.  I think it allows me a few
seconds of power breaking when the engine is off, but who knows.
5.  I pulled the hard plastic fuel lines from the golf, that stuff is
usefull for various things.
6.  Charcoal canister, atleast in my case it looks identical to the ones on
the Vanagons
7.  Aircleaner assembly, some modifications maybe required
8.  Washer pump, again looks almost identical to the Vanagon, always nice
to have a spare
9.  If you don't have a tach, I hear you can wire these in instead of the
clock.
10.  The downpipe, so you can make a new exhaust.
11.  Any little check valves and such from the vacuum lines.

I think thats everything you would want to pull from the donor or atleast
everything I can remember.

For my conversion I used  a 91 Jetta 1.8L Digifant II, I parked the donor car next to my Westy so any parts that I may need would be their. I didn't use the fuel pump, charcoal canister, or vacuum reservoir. I did save the fuel pump just incase. Both alternators were the same, so I kept one for a spare. For rad. hoses I first made them using both van and Jetta hoses, but I didn't like the looks of it so I bought Vanagon diesel hoses from a dealer and they fit quite nice. The diesel hoses are set up for an oil cooler (mounted between block and filter), I used the cooler off the diesel. I also saved the Jetta's cruise control, the speedo sensor does fit on the van's speedo, I haven't hooked up the cruise yet.
