Default Need help installing performance chip

I just got my chip in from pcmforless.com and need to know how to install it for a 92. Do I have to unscrew the black box or ecm to get to it?

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!

I just got it installed after taking my time and all I can say is unbelievable. It feels to me like a world class sports car. It even sounds like that Ferrarri in the movie Vacation where Christy Brinkly pulls up along side CC. It's really easy to install but for a newbie I was scared to death. I just mad I have to work this afternoon. Alvin, your the man.
