Ugh. You have to wonder why they made the thing so darned cramped when they had a big, roomy cabinet to spread out in. Perhaps the chassis was used in more than one cabinet.
Sometimes you need to remove (or half-remove) a few other parts to reach those buried farther down. In tricky spots where I don't trust my memory, I take closeup photos or draw a sketch of the various connections.
Working in stages is good advice. I begin with the electrolytics in the power supply, since all else depends on them. As soon as you can get some semblance of a screen image, it's helpful to play the set every now and then, to make sure you're not going backwards.
Take your time, and it will get done eventually. You may also want to check things off on the schematic and parts list as you replace 'em, to help keep everything straight.
