It is not that hard at all. It goes in easier than it comes out. Unless someone has cut up the wiring in your dash, you shouldn't have to mark anything. All the harnesses are different from each other, so even if you have two items closes enough together to forget which wiring is for what, you can't hook them up wrong. The hardest part of removing the dash is not tearing the ears off the top corners when pulling it out.
I didn't drop the steering column as some have suggested, but I had my steering wheel removed when I took mine out.
The only thing I would be concerned with marking are the vacuum lines running to the heater controls.
Why are you wanting to take it out. If we know that, maybe we can tell you whether or not you should have someone else do it.

The dash has cracks (2) from the front to the back and are about 1/2 an inch deep. I still need to buy a replacement and so far the cheepest I found was on E-bay. They are brand new and cost $400.00 plus shipping. Best I could find for the money.

Al Knoch sells them new for $400 also. Don't count on anything cheaper.
Since you are replacing it, you don't have to worry about removing the old one gently. That will make it easier.

Mine came out pretty easy. If all you need to do is replace the top part, I think you can just take of the right section to give you access to the screw that holds it down. Don't quote me on that, though. Also, take out all the screws along the top of the front pieces.
