The ADF removal can be accomplished as Preventive Maintenance, by at least a Private Pilot. Preventive Mtc items do not require a revision of the aircraft's weight and balance records or a Form 337 where the change would be documented.
The Private Pilot (minimum certificate grade) would be required document the removal as required by Part 43 Prev. Mtc. in the appropriate aircraft mtc log.

Not correct.
FAR 43, apendix A (c) provides a list of tasks that are considered preventative maintence. Also any task that a manufacturer describes as PM. PM may be performed by any private pilot, and the pilot must document it in the aircraft logbook.
Removing a radio or reciver of any type is not listed, so it requires an A&P to sign off the task. You can do the task yourself under their supervision, but they must sign it off.
