I would advise ripping all of the foreign parts out to avoid sabotaging 
anyone who might to try to make something of it in the future, and also 
any potential problems from failures of these parts.  Whether you 
re-wire it to factory stock is up to you, but I wouldn't bother.  Very 
few owners use the break-in circuit, and anyone who wants to can restore 
its function easily in the future.

This is just good radio hygiene -- remove extraneous crap.

Just pull out Dnew1, Cnew1, Cnew2, Cnew3, Rnew1, and Tnew1.  You can 
just clip the wires and leads, except for Tnew1 which you can either 
unscrew and remove (preferable) or just leave in place after clipping or 
removing the wires to the two pins.  This will leave K601 with no 
connections to its coil.

Best regards,
