Here's a basic rundown how I've done mine in the past.
I strip down to the posts/jets. Then I transfer the posts over and I usually just put all new parts on for the jets (except those screw nails which i reuse from the old playfield. take lots of photos of the top as you strip it down. I tumble any metal parts/nuts/posts for a couple days usually if they need it. After I get the jets and all the metal posts and ball guides over on the new playfield it is time to flip it.
I label each of the wires that go to all coils/mechs and then i de-solder them all. I then one by one remove them and rebuild them with new coil sleeves and clean them up before putting them on the new playfield. Once they are all fastened to the new playfield I then transfer the wiring harness for the coils/mechs over to the new playfield and solder it all back.
Next is the switches - i label each switch somehow either with tape on the wires or i label them on the brackets with a marker and I will label on the bottom of the old PF where they go so i can use it as a guide if i get stuck. I then remove all the screws holding them in and transfer the whole wiring harness, switches and all over to the new playfield and start seating them all and screwing them down.
Then I do the lamps. First I label them somehow like with tape and then I remove all the screws and transfer them all over. Once I'm done with that, flip back to the top and finish rebuilding that, changing rubbers and cleaning every plastic, etc before it gets placed.
AFM was the easiest swap I ever did, took me a total of 24 hours and I knocked it out in a weekend. Usually swaps took me 40-50 hours depending on the game. WPC/WPC 95 games were much easier than the Pinbot I did which was the biggest pain in the ass to do because nothing is socketed and those stapled down wires connecting the GI sucked. I ended up rewiring the whole thing with regular wires.
