Previous owner tricks

For better or for worse I'm about to embark on rehabbing my car that I got about a month ago. In researching how to replace motor mounts it appears that some people have experienced missing heat shield. I fully expect that to be the case with my car but am wondering what other likely "fixes" are commonly encountered....I'm not there yet but as I assess and trouble shoot the vac. systems I'm reasonably confident that the orfice(s) will have been removed....What other things should I keep an eye out for.

So I think I'm missing aheat shield between the turbo/exhaust manifold and battery, the heat shields for the motor mounts, what else????

Along the same limes..what pieces are a "pain" for mechincs that just plain get removed but accidentally don't get re-installed....
