Noah,
First, a moving warning.
If you have to lay the set on its back to transport it, then the CRT will have to be removed first or you will risk damaging it.
(The CRT can vibrate out of its cradle and scratch its face on the cradle. This happened to me on my parts set, but the CRT was not hurt.)
Shipping it in the normal upright condition, there is no problem with everything in place.
However, these sets are much MUCH easier to move it you remove the electronics first.
If your CRT looks as good as the one pictured in this thread, it probably is OK.
You can download a free Sams for this set at the ETF website:

Be warned there are a lot of errors in Sams including the CRT mounting assembly.
Expect to find the many cable harness wiring rotten with age and some of the special plugs frozen in the sockets.
Take care not to damage the shielded HV cable.
The HV cable must be unsoldered from the bottom of the HV cage to remove the multiple chassis from the cabinet without damaging the HV cable.
If the cable is shorted, you can salvage the shielding by carefully removing it, to later insert a replacement cable.
