Update:
All done. She’s up and running 100%. Now I just have to fill in those holes someone drilled to install the aftermarket radio and paint with SEM black to finish it off. Thanks for everyone’s input which led to my confidence to try this project. If anyone is trying to do the same hit me up and I can explain how I did mine which may help you.
PS: autozone sells the tool to remove the radio for about 7 bucks.
