I need to remove the A/C controls from the dash in order to replace the old lines. Does it simply unscrew from the upper dash? Any tricks I should know about? Anything that I should be aware of? See the pic below for the part that I am talking about.

Thanks!

Yes, just unscrew the * or 9 screws in the rivetted angle iron piece rivetted to the plastic moulded unit. HOWEVER, before you do that , in the bottom right corner under the fan housing, unscrew the single screw that holds a small angle bracket. it should be a black bracket that attaches to a strap of metal that bolts to the firewall behind the unit. I would also suggest undoing the hoses in the engine compartment and moving the 2 sheet metal screws that hold the rubber bulkhead pass through for the hoses. The , carefully pull the unit out, wiggling the bulkhead grommet and the hoses through the firewall, into the interior and out the passenger door. It goes a lot easier with the pass seat out btw. Good luck, move slow and as gentle as possible, the plastic gets real brittle with age.

Oh and remove the piece under the steering wheel first. Common sense, I know.
