69 Lower Dash Passenger Side Removal

I'd like to replace my tired old map pocket with a brand new one I just purchased. I know that I need to remove the passenger side lower dash in order to do so. I've removed the two screws closest to door jam, the three along the top closest to the upper dash and the two on side closest to the instrument cluster. Also remove the vent **** as well. As I try to pry the lower dash off...it seems to be stuck on the upper left side closest to the instrument gages. I don't want to force it and risk breaking 44 year old plastic or anything else behind. Any suggestions?
Thanks

I need to do the same on my 69. New map pocket had been installed but it is stretched out more than the old one. Had mechanic do it while replacing the heater core.
