I assume you are using this for some kind of plotter/cutter, such as for vinyl cutting, and don't want the overlapping shapes. Your question is a bit hard to follow, so this is a guess.

Select everything - click Object > Path > Outline Stroke.

Open the pathfinder, and with everything still selected hit the Merge button.



All the shapes and strokes and fills will be turned into vectors with no overlaps, and no strokes. If you ungroup the resultant vectors, you will see you can separate all the parts, and there are no overlaps.
