'87 dash removal help
First of all, thank you to everyone who has posted about how to remove the dash. However, I've reached the point where the passenger side is loose, but the driver's side is still secure.

Under the steering wheel are three allen head bolts that hold the steering column in place. The drives far side is held in the same way as the passenger side.

Take the one trim screw out of the headliner near the front.
Use a flat tool to disengage the xmas tree clip in the front of the headliner.
Take off the sun-visor.
Grab the A pillar and pull it toward the inside & remove it.
If all the other screws holding the dash are out, the dash should come loose.

Thanks again everyone. The dash is now out. The last fastener was the upper screw on the driver's side. As you guys mentioned, the screw was in the same place as on the passenger side. However, the driver's side was harder to see and to remove.
I'm getting the car ready for a major refresh of the interior. Rob, the dash will be covered with a cover that I bought in your original group purchase (I think). It's been sitting on my shelf for quite a while I've got new carpet and new leather for some areas with more on the way.
