I have been removing metal from the motherboards. I have also removed the fishhook CPU holding is this going to be ok.

I suggest you view the videos covering Motherboards found on this forum.
In the Annoucements: The Motherboard Game.
Under the Material Notes and Descriptions section: Understanding the Changing World of Motherboard Classes.
Under the What it is? Identification Forum: How to Grade Motherboards. Also the short video covering the same subject.
In the e-scrap price list. Short video critiques of each Motherboard category help.
It can be time consuming and frustrating to try and absorb all the information. But. That is "where its at!" so to speak to understanding scrapping Motherboards
I'm still new at e-scrapping. But. I do know you do not have to remove the Metal Socket hardware. Heatsinks should be removed. Other light metal can stay. Remove any batteries.
Hopefully an old timer will post an answer also.

you don't need to remove anything from motherboards except for aluminum for the most part.

Not an old timer but not a newby either. Agree totally with watch the videos and review the posts by Chris or Lostinlodos about board categories.
My motto has become : screwed or glued in general take it off (heat sinks, fans, aligment pins, other heavy metal junk).
CPU chip hold downs on metal socket motherboards stay even though often just screwed on.
Also, you must remove all batterys, even those sneaky ones that are soldered to tabs on some network switch boards.
The big exception that sharkscrapper discovered is the bracket on gold finger cards. You actually make more, almost always, if you leave the bracket on, remove heat sinks and fans of course.
