I did a dash restoration (in a 1991 Chevrolet truck) last year and its really best to do this on a bench...that way you can organize the harness like it needs to be, as well as route all the wires easily.
I cant stress how much easier it was with the dash out. Although I ended up swapping the entire dash out anyhow.

Removing the instrument cluster without scratching up the wood decal is the hardest part. The wiring is not that hard to remove once the cluster is out. Is it an A/C car? Those are harder
Drop the column, pull the cluster, remove ashtray, radio and glovebox. There's some built in straps that are hard to reattach when re-installing, but it's not that bad either way.
Take lots of close-up pictures as you disassemble, especially of how the wiring is routed around components etc.
It will be a good time to deal with the Amp Gauge Bypass and Wiring Bulkhead Issues when you are in there.
