Default Removing Dash

I'm planning on removing the dash to aid in replacing all the firewall insulation, reworking the wire harness and installing the air conditioning equipment.
It looks fairly straight ahead. The glove box, instrument cluster, center console and steering are already removed.
It looks like I just need to remove the trim,remove the rivets and unbolt it from under the windshield. It is not glued to the transmission tunnel.
Is this correct? Any 'gotchas' I need to look out for?
Thanks for any insight on this task.
Jim

If the bond is already broken at the tunnel, it should pop right out after you drill out the rivets and remove the bolts to the windshield frame.
