Entire dash needs to be removed. Column can stay in but needs to be unbolted so it can hang down. I'd remove the front seat also so the wheel can rest on the floor. From my experience, I would highly suggest getting the factory shop manual to do it, since it really does detail step by step how it's done. Have fun with the 2 nuts behind the back of the motor, they are a royal pain. I was lucky when I did mine having the front clip off which allowed for much easier access. For someone who has never done it, I would expect probably 10-12 hours from start to finish if you are mechanically inclined. I also did air bag replacement when my dash was out so I can't really give a good start to finish time.
