Default Help removing main console

Hey guys, I have the parking brake console removed, the shifter trim plate removed, the climate control panel unscrewed, the front access plates removed and the screws holding the front of the console down removed. Do I need to also remove the center gauge cluster to get to the remaining fasteners ? The back of the console is free & ready to come out but the top front is still held down. Thanks for your help!!! Took the day off to remove the interior and got stuck here...

There are 2 studs attached to the bottom of the center gauge bezel that go down into the console.

Yup - center guages can stay, but the nuts must be loosened.
My 75 had slots, not holes. So, try loosening and sliding back.
Oh - there might also be two screws on the side - accessed after
removing the small covers on the front edges of the console.

My 75 has the same thing. Bracket at the front of the console. Be sure to disconnect the cigarette lighter before pulling out the console!
