Intake, VAFM?
Rear brakes
possible the rear, to swap out the 7.5" if you have IFS (supralux mod)
Steering wheel
Engine, 7MGe?
M/T Tranny
Front Seats
Get creative, search for mods you may want to do in the future. There is a huge Supra fan base, if you get a part you don't want or need later you shouldn't have much problem unloading it.

If it has a 5spd manual transmission and it's not turbo-charged then it has a W58. You'll probably be able to find a 2wd owner with a 4spd transmission looking to upgrade. I've got a W58 out of an '88 supra sitting on the shop floor waiting for me to swap.
What's great is that it's an '89 mk3 supra so that means if it does have a W58, then it's the rarer version with the steel sandwich plate, which is considered to be stronger than the older W58s with an alloy sandwich plate. Wikipedia claims that makes it insanely more valuable, if the guy parting it out doesn't know this... then you could stand to make a tidy profit reselling it.

I have MKIII Supra seats in my pickup. So comfortable. Soon to have a 7mgte as well. 
All 86.5-92 Supras had the same differential size/housing. All turbo models came with a LSD, clutch pack type. Sport package N/A's came with a 4:30 LSD, while some JDM cars came with a 4:10 Torsen differential.
Edit: if you're looking in junkyards for a differential from a Supra, here's the data tag information you'll need to figure out the gear ratios:
(Credit goes to Jeff Lange @ Supramania.com as I cut/pasted the info from there)
G284 = 4.30:1 4-pinion 8.0" pre-89 N/A Diff (no-LSD, USA Only)
G282 = 4.30:1 2-pinion 8.0" 89+ N/A Diff (no-LSD, USA Only)
G285 = 4.30:1 4-pinion 8.0" N/A Diff (with-LSD)
G315 = 3.91:1 4-pinion 8.0" pre-89 Turbo Diff (with-LSD)
G305 = 3.73:1 4-pinion 8.0" 89+ Turbo Diff (with-LSD)
