Dometic RM 1282 Scrap Value?

Is there anything worth saving off my fridge before I throw it away? 

I'll be keeping the walnut inlay panels.  Maybe someone wants the ice maker or shelves or something?  All the stuff on the back side is pretty nasty from the ammonia leak.  Also I don't actually know if the ice maker still works.  The water line froze and split before our ownership so we were never able to use it.  The compressor did turn on last time I tried it.  I also think it might be difficult to separate it from the box.

The sealing strips aren't in good shape which is a primary driver in my decision to replace with residential instead of a JC refrigeration 12v compressor unit.

I don't really want to ship anything but I am in Manatee County, FL for pickup.

Also I've been searching but having trouble finding, if anyone has pics or writeups of an example of slide out pantry cabinets if I put a 32" fridge in the 36" space, I would appreciate it.  Still can't decide between a 32 or 36 fridge.  Assuming I can get it through the front door.  The dometic came out pretty easily, though it's a bit heavy!

We went with the cabinet depth Samsung. Removed the doors and shelves. Removed the side window and slid the fridge in that way and forget the front door.

Yeah?  It's pretty wide.  I have over 26" of space since I removed the grab bar and the screen door.  Maybe the 97 had a narrower door than the 99?

I installed a Bosch side by side,counter depth fridge years ago. Its a beast at over 300#.
I removed the inside door handle and the passenger seat. I removed the doors and everything inside the fridge.
I was able to wrestle it in through the front door with the help of my Wife.
My 95 U320 has the narrow front door, the counter depth Bosch just made it through.
