You don't need to pull ALL the powercells before breaking off the walls. The two sides are mutually exclusive so you only need to worry about pulling all the cells on one side before you start cutting.

If you experiment a bit, you can fling the entire side of the ship into the processor with the cabling attached to increase both speed and value. Without the powercells running power through these yellow junction bits, it's safe to cut them loose without frying the system. Go after the yellow junction bits to safely cut them into more manageable bits. However unlike fuel lines, cable lines are still somewhat 'live' when you cut them. Once you're sure you've gotten all the powercells on a side, then you can start cutting. Otherwise like cutting into a live fuel line your cutter will trigger a powersurge feedback and start causing things to explode. You need to pull these loose before you go cutting anything. They look like little purple blocks just plugged straight into the wiring. In total you'll be pulling 6-10 cells on average.

On each side of the exolab if you can get into the crawl space you'll find about 3-6 powercells plugged into these cabling wires. Much like the fuel lines, you need to remove the source before you go cutting the wires.
