Yes, they are all necessary, except for the bottom, as the backup battery is just right of the trackpad and all of what you mention is in the way of you successfully getting to it. Be very careful, make sure you get out all the screws and keep track of where they belong, and be gently determined when you open your powerbook, wear a earthing device and use a Torx-8, small cross screwdriver and nonleading flat tool like a "nylon blade tool" (anyone know where these can be bought?), eating sticks, or certain plastic devices you clean under your nails with, and you'll be OK. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
