1: There's a lot of metal that needs to be removed, plus the boards are too far away from the camera to be able to accurately determine grade once the boards are cleaned of metal.
2: peripheral grade. The heatsinks do need to go. The end bracket will need to be removed. See if it's bolted, screwed, or riveted on. In most cases, those brackets like you have I was able to break off by bending the bracket away from the board until there was too much stress on the points where the bracket is mounted to the board where it breaks.
3: Peripheral grade. For plates like that, I've used a small flathead screwdriver to get under the plate and pry it off.
4: Peripheral grade
5: Mid grade if green on both sides. Low grade if brown on the other.
6: all peripheral. Remove the large heatsinks. The small one on the third board can stay, but if you are currently hoarding aluminum, remove it.
7: peripheral grade. Brackets need to go. It appears they are held in place with a phillips or a torx screw.
8: peripheral. Wear safety gloves and use pliers to rip the metal off. Large heatsink on the right needs to go as well. If the port next to the heat sink has mounting screws for the plug to go into, you can use a socket set to remove those.
9: Peripheral. The presence of IC chips is enough to make it peripheral grade.
10: Peripheral grade.
