First you cut the SKIN all around and peel it off chances are it not glued to the wood you may or may not have to help peeling it off with a help and some pry bars attached to 2x4 to avoid the glass
If the skin breaks or you are force to cut it DO NOT PANIC it can and will be attached later in the project without a hitch see my post when I replace the fuel tank before and after.

After the skin is peeled off you can cut the old wood up in pieces if its still attached to the stringers etc
You can use saw horizontally to cut the floor off the stringers if attach hard YES you will have a clear view of the project at this point.

not so the floor wood is glassed to the floor glass and there is a layer of glass under the wood too. just set your skill saw depth to 3/4" it will cut threw all the layers you need to remove. trust me the V is not my first floor nor my last.
