For other Airplane systems not mentioned in the Partial Maintenance Manuals of P-3, we can refer to aircrafts with the same weight 4-engined tricycle aircrafts, with approximately the same range, that could be Lockheed C-121 Constellation and Boeing B-29.
Very interestingly, Lockheed C-121 is from the same company, with the same age as Lockheed P-3, which is almost the same weight and the same 4-engined propller tricycle structure with C-121. That suggests many systems on C-121 might be transferred onto P-3 to make it flyable.
Boeing B-29 is the same weight and range with P-3, which suggests B-29's many devices and systems might also theoretically capable for Lockheed P-3, whose AMM is not completely disclassified, to make a P-3 flyable.
Please notice that there're many differences between P-3 and these aircrafts, so please take things seriously and do not exchange the systems randomly but should be carefully refitted to P-3 in the real world after professional calculation and test, so don't copy the spare parts of C121 and B-29 for P-3 completely the same!

That suggests many systems on C-121 could be transferred onto P-3 to make it flyable.

Not really. I worked a little around Connies and extensively around P-3s, you can see some similarities in design and some small standard parts were the same but they were two very different aircraft.

Boeing B-29 is the same weight and range with P-3, which suggests B-29's many devices and systems is also theoretically capable for Lockheed P-3, whose AMM is not completely disclassified, to make a P-3 flyable.

Not even close! Two different manufacturers, two very different aircraft.

Yes, there're a lot of differences. Thanks for pointing out that.

RC-121 was the first American Radar Early-warning aircraft, as a part of radar warning system in the SAGE system.
EC-135C was a command aircraft transformed from B707-320.
E-6A was ALSO a command aircraft for nuclear submarines, with a connection wire of >6km. All 16 E-6A aircraft were modified to the E-6B standard, with the final delivery taking place on 1 December 2006.[5]​
