Default Anyone have a pic with the dash pad removed?

Does anyone have a pic of the area behind the dash, with the dash pad removed? I'm trying to see what room there is under the dash pad with all of the AC ducting and crap in there.

Not sure if this is the correct forum, I figure since it is interior, maybe it belongs here?

I have all sorts of pictures of how I took the dash apart in my 93 thread. I can't go through it now because I'm at work and we have picture filters, but if you click on the link in my sig you can look through there.

well i was frustrated when it happened and just ripped it out. shattered into to many pieces to count. but i belive the correct way to do it is to pull off the A-piller covers and it lifts off. some velcro and clips holding it down (same types of clips that hold the radio/ac bezel in). anyone feel free to correct me if im mistaken

Thanks for the pics. It doesn't look like there's much room for anything.
