Keep the standard engine mounts complete, battery main cable, keep both the caliper hand brake cables these are expensive, throttle cable, speedo cable, brake light switch, wheel nuts, cut all the VIN plates from the shell for IVA/DVLA, any ID thats on the shell you can't remove take pics of.

label EVERYTHING and take photos of absolutely everything before you remove it tedious , yes but its amazing how something that should be obvious suddenly becomes a vague mystery with the passage of time.
as well as the ecu keep all the immobilizer/ alarm stuff as some of it is tied in together
Good luck

no set of metric sockets and you will be fine, a recip saw and grinder is very handy, i cut the suspension off and stripped the bolts on the bench as practically nothing unbolted

You'll need either a 29 or 32mm socket to undo the hub nuts.
