Been doing some weight removal out of the catfish. I've already got the ac compressor, dryer, condenser, and lines under the hood removed.

I want to get the whole box out of the firewall on the passenger side. I'm not concerned about retaining the heat.

From what I can see, there's no way to get it out without removing the dash.
I already removed the glove box and the kick panel below it
I'd prefer not to remove the dash, but I will if I have to.

I'm not opposed to just getting in there and cutting it out because I don't care about trying to sell the parts.
Just looking for pointers on the process. Maybe even pics of the process if you have it available.
Thanks for any input in advance!!!
