I sold a Program A recently for the princely sum of £14.99. Typically kits zooms such as the one you describe have been going for £10-15.
You might get a little more selling the items separately, but the EBay fees will be obviously be higher.

I'd be happy with £15 for the camera (though obviously more would be nice) - it's more than I paid for it, and it included a 'free' SMC-A 50mm F2 in nice condition and a decent bag.I sold a Program A recently for the princely sum of £14.99.

Mostly I was wondering whether to pitch it at those out there wanting a replacement or additional body, or at people wanting a 'kit', as it were, that would be immediately useful.
I've got an ME Winder too, that I'll probably never use again...
Just musing, really, I realise there's not much to be made on MF bodies any more.

It very much depends on the MF camera. ME Supers still attract a reasonable price as do Super A's and MX's.
I sold a 50mm A F2 with fungus for 14.99 at the same time as I sold the Program A, crazy prices for manual primes in good condition at the moment.
AF cameras appear to be snapped up for their bundled lenses. Lots SFX and MZ series on offer. I tried to sell an MZ7 body but had no takers at £20, so it is back on the shelf keeping company with my MES, Super A and MZ6

Now is agood time to be selling any kind of Pentax film camera. Students still use this stuff in colleges and the new term will start in a few weeks. The older mf bodies still command surprising prices.

I also have a Pentax-A 28-80 F3.5-4.5 zoom (not SMC, at least I assume not; it's not marked as such) which I've had since new, in mint condition, which is surplus to requirements.
Do you think they'd fetch more together, or separately?
