I can't see why you would remove the CPU. They probably did it for cable management. I wouldn't cut wires on a working PSU - save it for a spare. If you unplug the drives, is there enough room under the board for the connectors to slide under? otherwise, I'd unplug just enough stuff to raise the board enough to pull wires out.
