depends on the transit. little ones carry about a ton. You'd get the bits you describe in and they shouldn't be overweight. I think to get all that off in a day you'd be wanting gas axe to burn through stuff. and the ability to use it. unbolting it all, if you're good at it…

How long would it take to strip out the engine and gearbox out of a 96 V8 Disco? bearing in mind I can trash the disco as much as I like. and have the use of a forklift for the heavy stuff, I would also want to take the axles off, strip out the interior, and anything else I can - including taking the doors off ( Italian job jokes here please!)

Also how heavy would all this be? 4 doors,bonnet,engine,auto box,transfer box, interior(electric) and as much else as I could strip in a day. 9 - 5

Would it fit in a transit ? how much weight can they carry?

unbolting it all, if you're good at it, maybe 2 days? I'd reckon on getting an engine and box out in under a day doing it tidily, *provided* no snags. but the suspension stuff may hold you up if anything's seized.
