Do you have a coupe, vert or FRC? Coupes and vert just unbolt. FRC are a PITA. Factory says you cut them in half, 
but normally you don't have to.
You basically (for coupe and vert) remove the tail lights and reach through the tail light holes and remove the nuts that holds the fender to the rear cover. Remove the inner fender. Then remove all the bolts inside the door well, then across the top and it should come right off. If if is the left side just remove the screws about the gas filler and leave the filler hanging on the car. The best I remember there is one hard to see in the gas filler.
The problem with the FRC is due to GM engineering
you can't get to 5 of the screws because they glue the top of the car on over them after they put them in.
PM me if you need more details, I probably have (or can get) photos.
