Let's see if I can do this from memory.
Remove Steering Wheel and Shifter (shifter may not be necessary)
Remove instrument cluster (PITA)
Remove the warning idiot light cluster (be vewy vewy careful, the plastic is brittle)
2 bolts per side on the very outside of the dash, near the front of the door.
3 bolts/screws holding the very front under the windshield (use a short screwdriver), under the defroster vent (CAREFULLY remove, it will break if you breathe on it, very brittle)
2 nuts holding the steering column up
I believe one bolt on each side of the radio surround near the back
2 bolts holding the front of the dash near the shifter
I think that's it.

i got almost everything out except for something on the drivers side. if you open the door and remove the panel that holds the vent thing that transfers air to the door but is in the dash. there is something right below that opening that i can see but just cant get to the back of. also if you remove the radio and the center console there are two screws that are holding the dash on. they are on the bottom of the opening for the radio. the heads of the screws are facing the front of the car and the screws are screwed into the radio tray/dash thing. the area behind both of these places i have tried to describe i can barely get my finger to much less something to remove them with. any ideas?

Are you sure you got the two nuts holding the steering shaft up?
Honestly, I don't recall any screws like you mention, sorry. It's been almost a year since I yanked the dash in the racecar.
