I removed my bread box over 20 years ago, and didn't need pull the dash cover, center console to get to the screws, and if I remember I pulled it back, and there was metal bracket I cut.
It took lot of time, but it looked lot better then what it was, also installed Burwood dash kit.

When I removed the bread box on my 84 I did not have to remove the dash pad. IIRC there were three screws in the center above the radio bezel and one on each end R & L side and two in the defroster outlet up by the windshield. Then just pulled it to the rear of the car and removed the pad. My car was not a Bose stereo equipped car and had speakers in the dashpad.
I removed the dash pad at another time to refinish it and replace the speaker grills and speakers attached to the dash pad.

Bryan gets into removing the instrument cluster, and far enough to also remove the dash pad.
