That will work too. One thing to avoid is taking a cover
plate off and leaving it swung aside and fastened with one
screw. You'll certainly walk into it or catch a sleeve and
bend the part and maybe injure yourself or the airplane.

You can use a Sharpie to write on the back of inspection
covers and such, the name and location of each part. You
can tag wire but taking digital photos as you go along is
easy and besides it documents the work as well as locating
the parts.

The key is a system.
