Keen 1: dead Vorticon gives (drops) a ship part

I have a patch request again that I don't know if possible. So:

If Keen shoots the Vorticon, he gives a ship part (but it's not randomly), which means:

In Level 3, if you shoot the Vorticon, he drops/gives you the battery. (Since in this level you must collect the battery.)
In Level 4, if you shoot the Vorticon, he drops/gives you the joystick. (Since in this level you must collect the joystick.)
In Level 8, if you shoot the Vorticon, he drops/gives you the vacuum cleaner. (Since in this level you must collect the vacuum cleaner.)

WARNING: In this case, Level 16 would be exception, because shooting the Vorticon Commander takes long and is hard. In short: This request doesn't affect Level 16!

Question: Is the patch possible to make without interfering any other patches?

It would be very difficult. You would need 3 ship part sprites in your graphics; tiles wouldn't work for it. I'd need your whole patch file to make sure I didn't mess anything up while making it.
