I replaced mine last summer. Pull the driver's seat and track, so that you have room to lay in there. I removed the carpeted hush pad and the metal dash piece underneath it, and also removed a little ducting elbow. One bolt holds the box to the bracket, just above the gas pedal - that part is easy. The toughest part is getting the stupid push-nut off of the vacuum line connector, which has to be done with the box still in place, as there isn't enough slack in the lines to do it with the box down where you can reach it.. I used a long, slim blade screwdriver to carefully pry the push-nut out until I could grab the edge of it with a needle-nosed pliers, then just twisted it until it broke. When I reassembled it, I used a small nylock nut instead of a push-nut to hold the vacuum connector on.
