If you're stripping the car down completely it's not too bad!
I removed the headlining on the breaker I had last week - If I remeber rightly, you need to remove the windscreen and door pillar trims, interior lights, handles, sunroof handle surround etc and the rear window (unless you're careful). The most awkward place I found was where the lining is fixed around the sunroof opening - you need to be fairly patient peeling it away as it's quite easy to damage around this point.
If you need any specific's when you are removing it, let me know and I'll check headlining I took off for clues!

I managed ok with the headlining and interior until I got to the door pillar interior trims - I know they were difficult to remove without damage from previous threads, but they really are! - I got about half way down on both before they ripped like paper!
