Default Save or toss orginal parts?

Going through boxes of parts from my 74 & 72 TAs. How much of the incidentals you some save that have been replaced?
These would be parts that you replaced with new repop due to either old parys weren't serviceable or you wanted a nicer appearing part.
Examples:
Seat covers
Fuel lines
Mounts
Lens & bezels
Tail pipes
Ect

Some times I wonder why I save things I'll never use on said car.

Parts such as roundport exhaust manifolds you would save when replaced with headers or larger manifolds.

Mounts, Lenses and Bezels can be used for mock up.
I have some NOS tail pipes that are sitting because the Gardner ones are much nicer.. oddly enough.
Some colors, white, Sandalwood, greens can be better matched with original seat covers in non faded areas used as sample. I sent out a Sandalwood carpet piece once to get what I wanted made.

tail pipes, lenses and bezels can all be resold.
I kept the single decent/original seat cover when I replaced mine, just incase.
(in my case it was a rear bottom)
