-Don't take pictures too close. I always find I wish I was a little more zoomed out. With todays cameras you can easily zoom.

I did the following order on MB from memory though.
-Remove solenoid and flasher harness (my MB had quick connects)
-Remove Lamp harness (mark with blue tape the location of GI wire on the pop leads and desolder)
-Remove Switch harness
-Take pictures of T-nuts and Harness Standoffs, these are shaped differently
-Rebuild pop bumpers using old playfield as guide for lamp leads..(do this before moving any Mechs). Test lights with 9V battery before finishing.
-While hammering in pop bracket screws, do the same for drac. I use a wooden dowl to protect the field. Careful with Drac as those screws will impact play if pushed too deep or left too shallow. Same with over tightening Drac.
-Move T-nuts and Harness standoffs to new playfield using old field as guide. I buy new ones from Pinrestore (they are the small 8/32 kind I think) so I can tumble without having to remember
-Clean and move light boards, phantom and EMI / Opto boards, etc, and optos as well as harness standoffs
-Rebuild and move mechs. Use 9V battery to move anything like drac or updown bank to see how it works.
-Rebuild the entire Monster Table and Up Down Bank if you do any rebuild (this is a bitch).
-BEFORE you attach Drac Trac test all the bulbs in the light board below drac with 9V battery or you will be removing Drac to reach some
-Once everything has been moved. put switches, lamps, and then solenoid strings back on I think in that order
-Flip over and start on top.

I'm sure I forgot a few things. But a really easy playfield swap except for rebuilding the monster table and drac trac if you do that.
