Pedal replacement
Ok...it looks like a real pain in the butt. I have the dash out and still can't see where/how this thing bolts on. I'm putting manual brake/clutch in place of the auto brake pedal. Any help you guys could give so I don't cuss too much would really make my wife happy..lol..

I'll see if I can dig up any pics.
Basically, it bolts in at the master cylinder/booster and up top there
are a few bolts that attach it to the wiper deck or birdcage (4 bolts, I think).
OK - look through my pics, and I don't have anything that is very clear.
But, after looking at AIM and pics, there should be bolts that are
attached to the pedal support from in the wiper bay area. They are
probably covered with dried out black tar. Look just to the inside
of the driver's side wiper transmission - on the leading edge of the
wiper bay (part of the firewall). Dig out the tar with a screwdriver or
chisel. My memory says 3/8 bolts (9/16 hex head). I can take a picture
for tomorrow, since I have the empty body shell in the garage.

There are 10 bolts that hold the assembly in. 4 in the windshield cowling. 4 I think in the firewall and 2 under the dash.
The steering column must come out , which is really simple and remove the drivers seat to make life easier.
So after 10 bolts the thing can be worked out, it is tight but comes out ok.
That is the hardest part of the swap. The transmission is easy
