Default Firewall Boot for cluth pedal

The boot at the firewall on the clutch push rod on my 73 SB Manual Tranny is gone, all that’s remaining is the screws. It looks like the top philips sheet metal screw, is located behind the power brake booster. I don’t think I will be able to get under the dash to remove the booster. Has anyone been able to get the screw out?

I too have a 73 SB, but without power brakes, looking at my boot it has screws at both sides and one at the bottom, not at the top . Can you actually see that screw at the top.
P.S. I lived in Marietta most of my life.

There is so much body sealer it is hard to see. The power brake booster is also in the same area. I will need to remove the hard sealant the PO painted on the firewall before moving forward. I have lived in East Cobb for more than 35 years, and grew up in Atlanta. I Visted Palm Springs in the 1997 and like the area a lot. You are a long way from Marietta!
