8v questions, what can I get from the yard?

I'd look for a no ac set-up,  4k tranny, I've heard that Fox intake manifolds are larger and make more low end power, A2 cam sprocket (lighter), non-heat exchanger set-up, ....

But what can I steal from other cars to give mine a bit more go (besides a 16v engine, ha, I beat you to it). I have a TB from an a2 golf gti (same as Audi I think) and it has the stupid adapter plate now but it will have the ports matched when the time comes. I'm pretty much collecting the parts now for a springtime install. Stock parts from other cars are typically pretty cheap and easy to find, so that's the direction I'm headed in at the moment.
