i don't see anything in that thread about removing the black plastic cover on the firewall.

I already have all the ac compnents and lines out....I can't figure out the damn cover. It looks like I need to pull it out from inside the car, but their are parts of the dash that are in the way a little. nothing is holding in it I removed all the bolts.

Can someone who has done it before chime in with any tricks so I don't have to take out my dash...
