For sure no need to keep RAM. I know that’s a user-upgradeable part. Not sure about SSD. I’d keep the SSD, but don’t know if it’s necessary.

The original SSD is needed for firmware upgrades. Every time Apple release a new MP6,1 firmware upgrade, you will need to reinstall it into your trashcan - don´t ever sell it.

Wow... didn't know that. Will remember that for future upgrades into the near future.

A lot of people found this too late and had to buy SSAUX/SSUBX on eBay to do firmware upgrades. Read this thread NVMe with ST-NGFF2013-C; Vega Internal GPU; Mac Pro 2013 (6,1)
