Front end collision repair

[beans50]

Hey guys brand new here. Thought I'd see if I could get some help with this one. I just hit a pole and being as reactive as I am, I'm trying to get answers an hour after I wrecked. Ok so I know for sure I am going to need a new radiator, grille, bumper, hood, and the lower grilles. I also know ima have to do some welding and rebuilding which I am comfortable with. My question is what other things do you guys think I may need to look into (i.e. other engine components I may need to replace, whether or not its worth it, etc.). Also if you could help me post a few pics I could give you guys a little better idea of it. Thanks!
