Parts to keep off core engine

A few months ago my engine spun a rod bearing at ~109k. My new used motor came with a supercharger in worse cosmetic condition which I sold.

I have the block, heads, oil pan, pulleys, valve covers, flex plate, front rear covers, lift brackets, etc listed on craigslist $50 but all anybody cares about is the supercharger, which I sold for $100 with the intake, to a kid that wants to put it on his rusted out 305 pickup. I tried to tell him it wouldn't work but he insisted it could be done.

The block looks good with no damage found, crank is junk, everything else minus two rods and pistons is reusable maybe. I plan to keep the car running a long time unless it gets wrecked I already packed away all the electronics and throttle body. Wondering if I should haul the rest to scrap or keep anything or sell anything like the following...

cylinder heads
harmonic balancer
flex plate
pistons and rods
front and rear cover
lifting brackets
fuel rail
ignition module bracket
 


It's all pretty much throwaway stuff. If you have room, it doesn't hurt to keep some of it around for parts in the future, but all that stuff is very easily attainable.
