where installed
Explanation:
While "location" is not wrong at all, it somehow does not feel right in the context. "where installed" defines the place of location a little better IMO.

You are right. \"Ausbauteile\"!!
I would then op for \"disposition of removed parts\", since such parts are sometimes stored, but more often either retruned to the factory for repair or disposed of. In such cases \"location\" does not cover these instances.

perhaps \"whereabouts\" would be better

neutral  Friedrich Reinold: As these parts were removed, they are probably stored rather than installed somewhere.
