it's been a year since i've taken a sah out, but I think you have to unhook it from the heater box & the one beside it...

I just took all that out at the same time, but i'm sure its just a screw and a clip from coming off it.

It should just wiggle out, no need to unhook anything. The center "box" for the HVAC will come with the dash, but not the rest of the HVAC behind where the glovebox is.

As far as i remember, just make sure you take all the screws out and it should wiggle out with some effort.

Don't remove the dash frame though, just swap the plastics
