on an 84 at the junkyard I would grab:

outside sliding door handle

black plastic coolant H pipe near the water tank in the engine bay.

sun visor clips, rear view mirror if not rotted away

AFM on engine, throttle body (including switches) if cheap

Fridge, stove unit

front turn signal bulb harnesses and side marker lights with 1 foot
or so of wire if clean and not corroded.

check radiator, if newish aluminum one grab it.

dash cluster (especially if it had tach)

seats if wolfsburg edition with armrests.
