I am very confused as why you are having a problem removing the HVAC controls, there are only two bolts that hold the unit in, and it slides out without any other connections other then the wire that plugs into the back of it.

Sounds more like he's trying to remove the fan/plenum/etc in the cowl area.

I would find someone that has a service manual for your car or purchase one to help out, doing just a little searching yielded some pretty scary pictures.
