Theres 2 bolts on the left side by the drivers side
2 on the passanger's side
2 up top by the vent next to the windshield
2 on the inside trim of the glove box
and 2 brass bolts inside the glove box that can be reached via a small hole located in the box
then from there just start poppin up...after you got the whole dash off....
there are then 2 more bolts on the plastic bezel around the actual radio and a/c cluster
1 is directly above the cig. lighter closest to the ignition
and the other is on the right side midle a/c vent..

Remove and unplug the HVAC controls, they're held in by two torx/7mm screws. Remove the steering wheel - there are instructions in the FAQ for this.
Remove both arms from the column. I believe there are three electrical harnesses that must be unplugged for this. There should be a total of 4-5 torx/7mm bolts for these arms.
Remove the main HVAC ducting. This is pretty easy, there's four or so bolts that are plain as day. The center vent is a bit hard to remove - jiggle and pull until it comes out.
Remove the small vent ducting (leads to the mini vents near the windows). You can do this before the dash comes out, or while it's coming out. I chose to do it while it was coming out because it gave me more room. This is just a matter of pulling on the ducting until it "unclips", so to say.
At this point, it becomes a matter of finding every single brass 7mm bolt and removing it (four of them hold in the passenger airbag, which must be removed). At this point, it's possible to work the dash out of the car.
Doin it Texas Style...
