There isn't much to figure out.
Myself, I do not even plan it: I go on the rule "see a cap - replace it".
Done.
WIth the exception of the mica caps, do not touch those.
So, to be a bit more organized, take the sch, go through all tubular/backelites and electrolytic caps, make the list, and buy it. And you are 85% there.
The resistors are rarely kitted as often times many do not need to be replaced.
Tubes....have to be tested, always, I make no exceptions.
And. People who sell kits tend to buy cheap no-name capacitors. You could for a little bit more buy good name caps through reputable vendors, like Mouser etc.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
