Jim, Removal of K3 will make winding the transformer much easier BUT since it is already installed: If you have good desoldering equipment and can remove K3 without harming the PC board, then remove it to make things easier, but I assume since you are asking about it that you do not have good desoldering equipment (like a Hakko 808), so just leave it in and accept the fact that winding the tranformer will be a more difficult task than normal.
