The wall will have a top plate and each roof truss will be attached to it. You have to remove the rubber roof and plywood roof decking if any truss needs to be replaced or repaired. Wiring and A/C duct will run thru the trusses, so repairing will be much easier than replacement.
What part of the wall is the top plate attached to? Hopefully the inside frame. I assume it will be due to the original skin being 1/8" or 1/4".
I have seen construction images where the wiring passes through a hole drilled in a truss. I would have a solution for that if I were to be forced to replace a truss completely. It would involve creating a notch and reinforcing the notch after the wires are passed up and into it. The A/C duct can be cut in half then re-assembled.
