It appears that these are tricky to get out. Do you remove the cables that attach to the ventilation controls in the dash, or did the dash cables come out with these?
Any been there/done that that tips to pass along? Thanks for the coaching! Attached thumbnail(s)

I had to remove the clips and separate the two and then it was still a bitch to get mine out, with fuel tank in.

It's much easier to remove the cables from the vents than trying to remove the other end of the cables from the controls ...

Label everything. You need to buy a good penetrant and start spraying all of the connections.

Bob B I have a pretty stupid question. How does the airflow go through these pieces? Mine were missing when I got the car, now I am trying to understand it. |

I think the air comes through the cowl and into the box and the fans push the air through the flappers that you are removing. There are connected by an air tube. I am inclosing a picture of my 6 for you to see easer on a fresh job.
