Does seating sofa, breakfast booth, cockpit seats, bed have to be removed to replace carpet with wood?

CW allowed floor to warp due to bad winter here in Idaho. Removed all carpet, used bleach and lysol to kill mold and mildew, used hand planer and sanded floor back to level and installed vinyl planking.
I not only found it easy to install (I removed all furniture inclusing captains' chairs) and with kit installed planking. It actually feels better on feet than carpeting and I find it looks better and is easier to keep clean. Only installation problem was slideout 1 (hide-a-bed and dinnette) where I had to use screws so slideout rolers wouldn't catch. Wife has a few throw rugs in some areas and we couldn't be happier with the floor. Weightwise, it seems about the same as the carpeting.
