What if you have an early car with no dash side vents? Those holes come in handy.

You can get to them, it's just a little tougher. You don't have the vents in the way, so once you have the instruments moved, and the glove box out, you can get to the nuts.

One thing you will find is that some of the nuts are alloy, and not always nylon.
Great thread. CCLINCOMPLETYLEYNUTZ |

Great thread! I was getting ready to do this myself for the first time. You just took a lot of the guesswork out.

Very cool, you must have small digital camera and little hands for some of those picks. Can you get the seal between the dash and the windshield out with the dash removed, or does the windshield have to be out too?

well, i used this thread, and it worked great!! Since i am completely stripping this car, i decided to add to your thread, and remove the dash frame under it. it only took me about an hour. first, you need to remove all of the switches, the steering wheel, and disconnect all the other electrical connections, and pull them down below
With the steering wheel off, and the switches pull out of the back Attached image(s)

next, remove the fresh air control unit in the dash. There are two ...8mm? nuts holding the cables to it, and a 10mm nut holding it to the body. Pull it out the front. Next, remove the steering column: there are four 7mm allen bolts holding it to the body

next, remove the two upped dash vents. They seperate from the larger units in the front trunk, with two clips. Push them up a little, and pull them down and toward the front of the car. The drivers side can be a little tight, but it is possible with the gas tank in...i did it, you just have to wiggle it around alot. With it out

now your dash should look like this, you need to remove the two screws pointed out here, too. I would have missed that, but michel reminded me

remove the 10mm nut under the dash, connecting the dash frame to the body. This nut isn't hidden, it is right in the middle, but this is a bad pic.

now there are only four more nuts holding the dash frame on. You will need to remove the nut holding in the windshield washer fluid bottle, and pull it forward. Then you should be able to get to the first nut. It is a 10mm nut. It is right next to the tube that feeds the fresh air vents in later cars. The nut:
