dash removal in 1979 gen1

i got a car from the wreckers and am currently stripping it but am unable to remove the dash, ive removed all possible and visible bolts holding it in but it still will not come out, it feels loose. the place where it feels still attached is somewhere roughly behind the centre aircon vents and near the guages. is there a bracket behind there and if so what is the easiest way to access it.

thanks in advance
shep.

there are four studs in teh dash that drop through some metal behind the center vent area. if you pull off the ducting you can get to them. they all have a nut just back them off and pull up. there was alot of pressure on mine though and its a bitch ot get back on but i just left those four out on mine when i re installed it and seems tight. hope this helps robert
