what do you mean by "engine parts"? Or are you trying to get at "performance parts" from these other cars?

That's a good question. There are quite a few similarities with those cars that you have mentioned in one way or another and you can also include a few similar/interchangable parts sharing with the Protege and the Miata as well, the Millennia. To date I don't think anyone has really compiled a thorough list to include all of the possibilities. It's basically dealt with, one item at a time. For example, if you needed front rotors for your GS - what other vehicles share the same part, or if I need to replace the rear sway bar on an RS which cars can I look to (oem or after market) for a viable replacement or upgrade. All that I've seen so far is on a case by case scenario. It would be a very time consuming and labourious effort but well worth the benefits after the fact for the rest of the BB. Would you be interested in compiling such a list so that yourself and others could benefit?

as for the engine parts are concerned,
keep everything that it's on the external of the engine, like belts, pulleys, intake manifold, tensioners, stuff like that. The rest is pretty much useless

Yes you can use the clutch. You can also use the headers but you will have to do some rewelding to get the exhaust to fit right. A lot of this stuff has been in detailed discusions, all you have to do is search and you will find all kinds of information.
