Y'know....as a plan B, have you thought about taking the countertop off? Disconnect the water supplies to the sink and the P-trap to the sink. The countertop should just be held on with screws from underneath. With the sink disconnected, you should just be able to lift the countertop off once its unscrewed. No need to remove the sink from the countertop, lift the whole thing off as a unit. It's not that big, it should be fairly easy to remove and re-install. then you don't have to worry about messing with the cabinets.
You can reach in through the drawer openings to disconnect the furnace, then lift it straight out of the top for removal.
You still have to remove the Oven to remove the countertop. Removing the water heater is a lot easier to do than the countertop. AND, the odds of cracking the countertop are great. There is not a lot of support on the countertop with the various cutouts (Oven). The ONLY thing holding the furnace in is about 3 mount screws and the LP line. Doug
