Yes, you can get away with pretty well anything with an aircraft that isn't intended to fly again.
Removing the vertical stab is a pretty routine procedure for allowing airplanes to into hangers that otherwise would have inadequate clearance - and those airplanes nearly always fly again (the one exception I can think of was when the hangar burned - along with the airplane).
I'd think the bigger challenge would be moving and aligning that big tail barrel section without the dedicated tooling (as I noted earlier).
