Almost got there, eventually!
Got the theme etc.
Just one cell empty, in 34a. There's only three options but I can't make sense of any of them.

It’s yet another tough one. The printed clue loses “nos” (numbers) from the front of a slang word for café, and then the A from 33a replaces the first letter, which moves to the second letter of 35a

Ha ha! I was very surprised to find the 7-letter cafe in Chambers.

It parses 4,2, Gitto. The first four letters are an old word for something difficult, the last two a famous religious abbreviation

… or rather, an abbreviation signifying a famous religious event

Thanks mattrom, I would never have seen that. Given a good deal of cold solving is required there are plenty of difficult clues in this one,

That was not easy. Still not sure what the original answer at 13 was but all done including the colouring in. Very ingenious but it did pain my brain.

Teenieleek, in 13a remove the received letter and put the donated letter back at the end.
