Default radio bracket in 89 corvette

Has anyone removed the rear radio bracket in the 89 Corvette with the Bose system?
I am going to change out the radio and it says I have to unbolt/cut the rear radio bracket out to make room.
I really don't like to cut things out so I was just wondering who has done this already and can you actually unbolt it?

Maybe try a search using your radio head model number and maybe someone has done a complete install note on what's required for that particular radio head.

I'd try also maybe searching the audio section in the same manner! I believe you'll find that if there's anything to be modified it will likely be something that requires a dremel procedure or something similar.

I had to remove the rear portion to fit my aftermarket head unit. It's been over 10 years, so it's safe to say, it didn't cause me any problems.
