The brain changed halfway thru '70, if the brain is a D brain, then it is the 
same as your '71. Any of the other parts are potentially useful, so it all 
depends on how much they want for them and whether you have room to store them.
That includes the fuel pump. Even if it is frozen now, it can probably be fixed 
for a lot less money than a new one.

If you buy any of these parts, they should all store well as long as they are 
kept dry. For the fuel pump and injectors, I would remove all the hoses and 
store them in kerosene.
