Default taking parts off wrecked car

so recently its been warm weather (30-40's) which is better than the normal (10F or below).

i wanna take the headers and exhaust off my 93 but the car is gunna be sitting for a few more months and the motor is still solid. will this rust out the exhaust ports on the heads?

i also wanna take the throttle body, intake, maf and all the other bolt-ons i got but just dont know if i should leave em on there since motor is getting pulled

im just kinda paranoid cus its sitting behind a shop and anyone can grab stuff off it.

i noticed alot of new footprints in the snow walkin around the car and i think someone even managed to look under it cause my tarp was moved.

heres a quick rundown of the expensive parts i wanna take
- summit throttle body
- summit maf sensor
- bbk adjustable fuel pressure regulator
- bbk caster camber plates
- ford racing springs
- kyb agx struts/shock
- quick ratio steering rack
- 1 piece nickel steering shaft


definitely missing some stuff but let me know for now thanks guys

you will be fine as long as it stays coverd. If you can, just sqirt some wd40 in the ports.
