We in Germany have some specialised firms, they have spare parts for the antique machines. Maybe, if you can't get spare parts, try it abroad but the prices are often prohibited.

7ft with 8 feet spare, thats not a problem, as I get my Deckel, you can't push a newspaper between the upper corner of the machine and the door. On the side it was less spare as you have. But its necessary, that you have people before and behind the machine, cause you can't go through the gap. And if possible it were better if you can stand your machine upon controllable rollers.
Sorry I haven't found a correct translation for the rollers. that are the one with a drawbar to change direction.

About your monitor, if its for the Maho or another aged machine, you can try to use a simple tv-set with cinch or scart input. Only the newer machines have specialized monitors, that you can only replace with original parts (or not really cheaper parts from OEMs). The only problem can be, if you have some "softkeys" around the screen.
so im not the only one putting a machine in a tiny space, haha. the rollers are what i called dollies. wheels you put under the feet and then push the machine around. i found a place that might move it this week, but i didnt get the price yet. hope its not very high.

on the screen, ive seen people replace the tube with lcd's using a $100 converter that makes the correct scan rate.
