Challenger dash pad removal question

I have 1970 dodge challenger that I am going to be replacing the dash pad on. The windshield is out of the car so getting to the top bolts is easy. Dash is currently complete with all the gauges, A/C vents and glove box installed. My plan is to remove the top bolts and loosen the side bottom bolts and tilt the dash foreward to get to the pad attaching bolts. Is there anything else I need to remove before I tilt the dash forward?

It might be kinda hard to get to the nuts that secure the dashpad to the frame with everything in the way. (Going by memory on this though. I can find out for sure tonight, for I have a complete AC dash assembly sitting on my workbench that I recently put together for a friend.)

Hi,
That would be great. Thanks!

IIRC the glove box and cluster is in the way.

You'll also want the 2 steering column support studs out if they're not already.

Thanks for the input. It almost looks like it would be easier to just take the glove box and ash tray out and just reach up under the dash versus unbolting the dash and pulling it forward.
Also, why would I need to remove the steering wheel colum studs? I was just going to loosen them to bring the wheel down some so I could tip the dash.

They can still get in the way...especially if the front seat or steering wheel are not letting the column drop far enough.

Come to think of it, I don't think you'd be able to swing the assembly down at all with them in place.
