wiring harness removal and install help

i am trying to replace my harness today, and was hoping for a bit of guidance. the engine bay is no problem, but i am getting hung up on the interior part of it. i really would like to do this without taking the dash out, so any help would be greatly appreciated

Aint gonna happen bud, remove the whole dash.

You might get lucky and do it w/o removing the metal substructure too...

How much of the harness are you replacing? All of it, or just the engine harness/sub harness?

mike: i am replacing the main harness (keeping my current engine and rear harness).

well i got almost all of it.. the only thing that i was not able to get out, and replace was the wire going to the windsheild wipers.. oh well, hopefully it does not rain any time soon.

damn it was a bitch
