Dash removal?
Is there a easy to follow, dash removal for dummies, link for 98 coupe?
On a scale of 1-10 with 10 meaning no way Jose, do not attempt.
I have bulbs to be replaced in the DIC buttons and the AC information window and may have to access the HVAC door actuators.

These are not difficult to do, even for a novice ( should be a 3 to 4 max on your scale). The dash is not removed, some of the console pieces and knee bolster do need to be removed for the IPC. This will also allow you to have access for the HVAC unit. Here is a link for removing the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) for the DIC buttons. It will also cover the HVAC access:

If you need to get to the actuators let us know, there are links on that also.
The DIC and HVAC bulbs are soldered in just so you know. Not real hard if you know how to do soldering. If you need help on the type bulbs let us know, or just buy a new/used unit. Fixing the HVAC LED display requires fixing some resistor cold solder joints (normally).
