What parts are useful off a 140? 120-130

I am looking at buying a 1971 Volvo 142E as a donor car for my 1963 Amazon wagon - mainly for the M41 gearbox. What other bits are worth taking? I thought the engine might be useful for parts (but too much hassle to fit because of the ECU and extra fuel line etc.). I was also thinking of robbing the front end to upgrade the Amazon with front disk brakes. Perhaps the front seats, if they are in OK order (I have heard that they are an easy fit in an Amazon and I am guessing they would have head rests).

Is there anything else that I have overlooked? What have the collective experts found useful from a 140 series car?
