I would for sure pick that original power antenna and mounting grommet off the car. Even if it doesn't work they can be easily repaired. To lower the antenna without power, there is a plug on the side with beeswax on it. Scrape off the wax then loosen the plug a couple turns. Then you can gently collapse the antenna. These are a few hundred $$ on eBay. You usually need a special wrench to get that nut off without tearing it up, though. Or use a thick rag with pliers. The electrical connections are plugs behind the antenna switch.

I'm sure some of the other stuff could find a home if you pick it up at scrap yard prices.
