I think I only took the dash out in 15 minutes or so. Dealing with the
heater box is another thing altogether. I've spent a lot more time just
getting some of those out as the screws can rust into the threaded holes
in the body. Later years they put some heater screws in from the upper
radiator grill side instead and that was an improvement since those
screw into the plastic of the heater box and thus don't get frozen by rust.
