Hi Nelson,
The bolts you list will release the column from the car. Remember to remove the rag joint if it's still hooked to the column shaft
The 'plate' on the engine side of the firewall will come off (there's sometimes sealer on it that holds it in place) once the column is out. The 'plate' on the interior side of the firewall is part of the column itself.
Remember there are electrical connections on the column from the dash harness that will need to be unhooked as you take the column out.
Good Luck!
Regards,
Alan
