What 2nd gen parts can be used in our cars?

I'm heading to my local pull-a-part soon with my friend, just because I like those kind of places and all the goodies contained within. Anyways, I have recently been informed that there is an '88 7 in there somewhere, and wanted to know what you think I should take from it. I have an '85 GS, and I want to get pretty much anything that would be considered an upgrade. I know I'm going to snag the oil cooler for sure, but what else should I go for?

Under hood fuse block to replace the fusible links. Cut the wires off of the block as long as you can. Install/swap is relatively easy and ReSpeed used to make a mounting bracket for them.

For the oil cooler swap, get all of the oil lines, soft and hard, hold down brackets/clips and the pedistal under the oil filter. Then read my write up in the archives for the install.

Strut tower top covers, leading coil, water pump, radiator... thats all that comes to mind right now.

I listed it in order of how easy it is to install.

If it's a Turbo II, just take the motor and trans. If you really wanted you could take the whole front subframe
