Yes, we pulled all the old wires out.
My IA has the scales and ramps to do the re-weigh, once we are at the point we can put the interior back in.
One thing to think ahead about is ... if you are going have new electronic engine instrumentation that includes a fuel quantity indication is: You will need to calibrate the new fuel indication system with the tanks incrementally from empty through full, but the airplane will need to be weighed while empty. So, try to weight it before you do the fuel calibration, otherwise you'll have up to 30 5-gallon buckets of fuel sitting around.
