The dash is a pain in the *** to get out. I took one out of an rx-7 that I was stripping. The hardest thing is finding all of the bolts that hold it on. There are 2 bolts on either side next to the walls of the car, a series of bolts along the wind shield, I can't remember if you have to go from underneath or if you have to remove the vent to get at them. Other than that it is a remove em as you go job.
Good luck
Ryan

The dash isnt all that hard to get out, ive pulled mine twice and a friends once, takes about 20 30 min.

From what i remeber, there are 2 bolts on each side bye the doors, ther are 2 bolts on each side of the tranny tunnel, look for velecroed down carpet, there under that, and then there is a bolt up against the winshild that you need one of thoes bent screwdrivers to get at.

You can pull all the gauges and accessory panels except the logicon, the harness for that is bolted to the firewall and is a PITA to get at. Just pull the dash forward and you can reach it. After that is a fight to get the dash over the shifter and e-brake, the first time i was lucky, i had already pulled my tranny but the second time it was a fight, it is possible though

g'luck
