Yes, it is possible. But you need to drop the steering column by removing the two attaching bolts and support strap under the column at the dash area and loosening the bolts at the firewall plate (do not remove them). This will help you gain access to the dash area.
You really need a copy of the AIM for your model year, as it details the CORRECT routing of harnesses and wires, which is particularly important...if you want all to go back together properly.
Removing the steering wheel provides even better access.
