Instilation order of dash

Hey guys. I've been thinking about putting the dash in my car and I wanted to know of the order of installation. I.E. Heater->Body Harness->Dash etc. I do have the Haynes but it doesn't seem to detail dash installation. I have a round dash if that makes a difference.

that matches what I did. I didn’t remove the harness though but had to repair ac heater controls. Reinstalled the heater ac pieces first, then dash was installed next. Not sure if it matters but mine is an 85.
