Default Console removal on a 87

I have pulled all the dash trim, I have the cover of the glove box off, I have found the four screws in the glove box the two large bolts where it meets the dash. What have I missed? I have not pulled the seats but I'm ready to.

if you were to say what it was you were tring to accomplish, it would be easier to advise you. you can do quite a few things with out complete dissassembling of the console and the part you say you pulled doesnt need to be removed for any of them.

I wanted to remove the shifter for the 4+3. I am transplanting a T-56 in its place. I did cut the trans tunnel and got it out. I'll wait till I do the interior to remove the rest of it. I need to deal with the steering column lock when I put the new trans in so I'd still like to know how all the bits and pices come apart.

in that case its easiest to remove the seats and you'll be able to find the screws holding the side panels on
