There have been a few posts on the subject. Basically, other than removal, the 'biggie' is to fab a plate to cover the large hole left in the firewall from the removal of the evaporator housing. You can either make a plate that will bolt in place using the factory holes or fab a plate that gets welded in.
Everything else is pretty straight forward.
You can see in the picture, it's a pretty good sized hole.

Be very careful not to knock off the drain tube when you pull it out.
Recommend at least taking the hood off.
Go slow.
Here's where my rebuild starts.
