Default How to get inside the center console??

Hi guys,
On a '98 vert I need to change the control unit for the dual zone AC, and also the hazard switch ...what is the optimal way to access these items?

Thanks!

Check out my Hurst shifter install. You can use the same disassembly steps for the console and instrument panel that the tutorial outlines.

It is truely a PITA to change the hazard switch, since the whole top of the dash has to come out to get to the vent screws. The a/c control is no problem since it is only removing the center console

I have been there and it is not that bad. Just take your time and lay out the screws in order for re-istallation.

Kinda rewarding when you get through!
