the stock dash isn't very hard i will say about a 3 ,,,,, 4 screws up top in defroster vents ,,,,, 2 bolts at kick panel area dash corners towards door end of dash ,,,,, these bolts also used for grounds ,,,, theres a bolt in a frame brace on pass side in back of radio area ,,,,drop steering column ,,,, i think a bolt runs threw brake pedal bracket into dash metal brace might be easier to see with steer column dropped down ,,,, disassemble e-brake release cable from e-brake assembly,,,,i think the key chime/buzzer might be mounted to back of dash near e-brake release handle 2 - 7mm bolts ,,,also the wiring harness is clipped underside of dash windshield area or closer to gauge area ,,,, and if heater parts still in there ,,,have to deal with that not sure of all duct assembly mounts ,,,,,, i went off of memory havent done it in sometime but should get you off to a decent start GL

..........unclip the speedometer cable, for me it was always easier to just remove the steering column.

Just be careful when removing any wiring and watching for things that catch, especially if being careful not to crack the dash that's being removed.
