Default What do I need from my donor.

Hi all. I am a new member but have been reading alot. I have now decided to start (slowly) so I am, in the next month, intending to buy a Donor. It is Goong to be a Sierra 1.8cvh or 2.0DOHC but I want to know what I need to strip off It. I is going to be a few days to strip and get rod of or the missis will start shouting and stop cooking. My first question is which is the best engine, 1.8cvh or 2 DOHC I am leaning towards the 1.8 as there are millions so if/when I blow it up I can easily get another.
The list I have so far for the donor is:
Engine
Box
Diff
Prop & shafts
Wiring loom
Front Hubs & calipers
Rear hubs and drums
Pedal box
Clocks
Steering column
VIN plate from cross member.
Wheels & tyres

Parts I am unsure if I need:
Petrol tank
Tank sender & pump.
Engine mounts
Radiator & fan

Any comments and opinions would be excellent.
Thanks in advance.
