I need to remove the clutch pedal on a 68 coupe. with the clip removed i cant get the shaft to slide all the way out due to interferance with the e brake and a plastic vent assembly. is there an easy way to get this out, should i drop the streering column and unbolt the suport and remove it as an assembly?

I don't know of an 'easy' way.
The way I know is to drop the column, pull the support, then do what you need to do.
Good luck
Dave

On my '66, I had to remove the e-brake and remove the fresh air cylinder vent. I left the pedal mount bracket in place.

It's better to remove the whole thing, bracket and all that way you can inspect the pedal support bushings for excessive wear and determine if they need changing. After 30 something years, they likely do need to be replaced, afterall they're just made from pot metal.
