Disconnect the bulkhead connector under the hood. Pull the 2 bolts that hold the fuse box to the wall. Pull the 2 door switch wires for dome light.

It`s been a while so I might be forgetting something else. Pull that dash WITH the harness. Then, undo old harness and replace harness on dash OUT of the car.

Then, install dash back together with new harness already attached and plugged in. Gravy.

Very good advice!

Have quite a few fold up sawhorses out in my shop, & they also get some use, but the ABSOLUTE best platform I've found for carefully loading the large molded dash assemblies is a roll around fold-up Ping Pong table. Very easy to place the dash to be loaded next to an example (loaded) dash assembly. When done, clear it off, fold it up, & out of the work zone.
