Default Time to get parts off a donor truck

I am going to a junk yard to tear some parts of a 2002 DII this week. It is 4 hours away from my home and the trip coincides with a tournament my daughter is in, so time is of the essence when picking parts. Need some help knowing how much time to get the following off a truck and potentially what tools I might need: driver side door window motor, rear door lock motor, passenger window shade. If time permits and the parking break boot is good, I will get that. Also plan to swap all the tires/rims with mime. It is an auto shop that has this and they should be able to do the tires for me. What do you think?

You wont have time for the tires, either bring the donors home or leave them.
Window motor, big flat head screwdriver to pry off the inner door panel, small phillips to remove interior door panel trim pieces.
Socket set with SAE/metric sockets to remove window motor, budget 30min for that.
Same for door lock, I believe front and rears are the same, so you could just get it from the front door since its already open.
Parking brake boot, 10 min, it is held on by a clip at the handle, youtube it, you can buy brand new for under $50 if you Google it.
Sun visor, Phillips screwdriver, 2min.
Its a donor truck, no need to be neat, rip out what you need, leave the scraps.
Bring cutting pliers too so you can cut wires before the connector.
Various screwdrivers and needle nose pliers, etc.
Better to have to many tools than not enough.

Thanks for the info. The lock I need is the big trunk door, tried getting to mine this past summer and had no luck. RAVE was not much help either but will look up YouTube to see what has been documented.
