There are many things not listed in the TCDS that you are not allowed to remove on some airplanes, but are allowed to remove on others - doors, for example.
There can also be things listed in a TCDS that you *are* allowed to remove. For example, the TCDS for a Cessna 340 lists 6 seats, but the equipment list in the POH makes it clear that only one is required for flight.
Cessna didn't start providing equipment lists until the mid 70's. You won't find them in the old "Owner's Manuals." They don't start showing up until you have a "Pilot's Operating Handbook."
