You are going to want to drop the steering column (remove the firewall plate- 5-screws), I'd remove the steering wheel and/or the drivers seat (to give lots of room)...

there are 6+ screws along the top edge and 2 on the sides of the front...

Then underneath there are several 5/16" bolts (3+), probably remove the vent cables too... loosen the E-brake (remove bolts to dash) take off the lower column surround/cover and and the two nuts/bracket...

Once the column is down and bolts removed, you can rotate the dash forward and disconnect the harness/speedo cable and remove the guages...

1/4" socket/nutdriver works on most fasteners...

If you have a digital camera, take pictures so you can get it back together...

Really, its pretty easy, just time consuming...
