Access to freightliner, what to pick and pull?

I have limited time access to a non-running freight liner cab-over semi, maybe late 80's or early 90's. What items of interest should I look for?

My thoughts so far:
Horn, switch, air gauge, air tank. Surely the compressor won't work?

Has a pyro... dunno if working.

I use to have one of those trucks. Only thing I can think of that you could use is the horn system. Tanks, pull valve and horns. I dont think you would want to try and use the compressor. It would probably suck up too much horse power. Plus its the size of one of your batteries.

You could use the mirrors.

I'll see what i can do.

What's my best option for a 120PSI compressor? I'm thinking horn, occasional tire inflation, and very rarely minor air tool use.

Ok, got the horn, valve, air tank with bleed, and 2 air gauges. Mirrors gone. Thanks for the suggestions. I'll make a normal post for the build.
