Instructions for Dash Removal

Well, I've come across a Thunderbird that has a mint dash that I'd like to pull. The car is getting crushed, so I'm removing as many parts from it as I possibly can. How hard is it to remove the dash? I know that the center console, gauge cluster and heater controls need to be removed. What else do I need to unbolt? Also, where are the bolts holding the dash to the car? I know that there are two in each kick panel area.
 
What year is the car--they are slightly different---but there are some under the trim strips over the defroster vents and above the glove box depending on year---plus to do it right you need to unplug the big electrical plug on the drivers side inside the engine compartment --oh and you need to drop the steering column out and disconnect lotsof plugs----once you get the dash physically loose you will be able to see them pretty easily---its not a real big job but it will take a couple hours to do it right..............Dan
