"Pace This" has some good instructions around here somewhere. I assume this is for a HUD install? If you are just swapping out the cluster you can to it by dropping the sterring column to make room.

Pretty simple, I'm sure you can get it in 20 minutes or less. Pretty much all you have to do is remove the center console and the trim under the left dash. Two screws in the top of the IPC and two below. One big wiring plug and the small HUD plug is equipped. You will need to remove the two nuts holding the steering column and drop it a inch or two to get the cluster to clear the steering wheel. But you may not want to follow my instructions, I think I did something wrong! My IPC ended up on the rear diff!!!
