My build thread has a reasonably comprehensive list, albeit doesn't include screws. This pinned thread also has a parts list. I'd strongly suggest reading through some of the pinned threads, as there is some great info in those, in particular this one.
The parts you're referring to that are moulded in and you want to remove are the vac hose and PPD, and from seeing your post on Facebook it looks like you've bought an Epic Props shell. Have you got their latest relaunched shell? If so, the n-filter is already a separate piece, so should be no issues replacing it with an aluminium one providing the shell allows for the right 3" diameter (the Ben of Kent shell is a 2.75" n-filter so required a lot of work to get an aluminium one to fit). If it's one of their older shells then it's got a cast in n-filter, and would require significant modification of the shell to replace it. You'll need to learn how to fibreglass to do that. I'd imagine the vac hose should be easy to remove, not sure about the PPD, it depends whether that is cast as a solid piece, or hollow. If it's the latter you'd need to rebuild the shell underneath it, and strengthen it appropriately.
Also, you can't sell anything on the forum without a supporting membership, so you should probably edit your post to remove that part.
