Little advice needed please

Im about to do a mixed batch of stuff in AP. I've done multiple batches of gold fingers in the past but I want to make sure there's nothing I'm missing, or any additional steps needed. This batch will be including goldfinger's, SIM cards, pinless processor chips cell phone boards not depopulated. Should these be depopulated or just not used? I'll attach pictures of some of the material I'm using.

It's generally not suggested to mix items that you're processing, but in this case, after seeing what you are processing, you should be OK. I would either leave out the cell boards or depopulate beforehand. If not, you will have the components of the boards mixed with your gold flakes making it difficult to separate. Just my thoughts!

Half a minute with heat gun and good bang will sent all crap flying. Fastest depopulation.

I would take heat gun to the CPU also. Or just a real good smack with hammer and chisel. Less metal, cleaner acid.

I've already taken then heat sinks off of the cpus
