Pointers on removing the dash

I was just wondering if anyone has any pointers on how to remove my dash. My car sat in the sun for two years with its previous owner and the platic is very brittle. The front defroster vent break apart as if they were crackers. Anything at all though would be helpful. Please help. Thanks.

i just got done with this so i will see what i can remeber. there are three bolts along the top. but first you have to pry out that piece that the vents sit in but not the vents themselves. there is a screw between the two vents that needs to come out. there are two bolts on each side between the dash and the door. like if you follow the a pillar down to where the dash meets it. you have to open u the door all the way for these. take out the guages the shifter boot and the centre consle. remove the glove box. five or six screws there. then there are four bolts two on each side. under the plastic panel and under the carpet right about where your knee is on the side. there are six plugs that ned to be undone. two on the pasenger side on is blue and at the top once you pull the dash out a few inches and the other is white and is easily acesible once the glove box is out. one is te logicon also easily accesible once the dash is plled out a few inches. next go get on ur back on the driver side of the car and find a big blue and green plug right where the hood latch thing is( you gotta undo this to.) then right off of the steering collum there is another big blue plug. oh yeah i almost forgot to tell you to drpo the stering collum. let me know if you need any more info or what order or anything.
