Changing out entire dash, not just the pad...
Well my camaro's dash (read: not dash pad) is going south, it is starting to crack right above the heater controls. I have already had converted the car to an ac delete heater box and recently located an ac delete dash in perfect shape as well as proper heater controls and cables. I would like to swap these, however I am unsure of the process involved in it. Keep in mind this is third gen to third gen and not some fourth gen swap. Any particular bolts I should be aware of? Anything I should concern myself with in removal?
Thanks in advance!

Are you going to be putting in the exact same year as you took out?
When I swapped my 84 to a 92, a couple of the mounting spots were slightly different. I made it work, but thought you should know ahead of time.

Remove dash pad, Center console, remove all the lower panels under the dash, remove the cluster, remove the dash speakers, lower the steering column remove the nuts at the end of the dash and it should pop out.
