Best of luck getting things all back together. Hope the new dash holds up much longer than the original one did.

All back together and everything is working. No extra bolts or anything. The new supplier for GM does such a better job on the dash. Different adhesive and well as a little extra leather and actually stapling in the areas that usually pull out. The original was a very low quality dash. Pretty sad considering what the car is supposed to be. Should be good to go with this one.

Oh God, thank you for ALL the photos!
I'm after the SRS sensor / diagnostic box.
I'm seeing now that the Info screen and AC panel has to come out.
All the photos shows this stuff gone.
Do the AC ***** pull out, like days-gone-by?
My hands are small, but not THAT small!

No need to remove any *****, the entire trim surrounding the cluster that houses the HVAC/radio controls comes out in 1 piece, one big connector from the center screen to control both functions. There will be separate connectors each for start switch, hazard switch and also for HUD/dimmer/mirror/top controls on left side of trim.

Thank you!
Puzzling without a book, and all the procedures show the surround already removed.
That head-space will be just what I need to get at that back bolt holding the SRS control box down!

Forgot to post the final install. Had one issue with the steering sensor where it was out of alignment (there is a window that requires matching the yellow marker with the window when at the zero position. That was the only issue.
