What to Keep,,What Not To Keep?

I have a whole bunch of Packard spare parts. Three or four complete distributors, caps, wires, I have two transmission mounted air compressors, one that i know doesn't work (of course it's the one ON the car), two carburetors, a pair of window wings that don't go to our car, and a host of other items, including a spare engine and transmission. I am not going to sell the engine.

I figure these things fit into one of three categories:

Stuff I will never need, but nice to have
Stuff I will never need unless I sell it and then ten minutes later I will need it and have to pay 10X what I sold it for (the engine fits into this category)
Stuff that I don't have a clue what it goes to or why we even have it, but I will need it only after I sell it..

Can someone give me a base value on some of these items? I am not looking to make a mint but I am unemployed at the moment and would like to be able to (now that I have all this free time)use any money earned from selling spares to do some needed work our 29 645, including fixing two broken exhaust studs and getting a small manifold crack repaired.

I really do appreciate any positive input from the more learned among us.
