Start by removing the console, glovebox, radio, and steering coulumn covers and knee bolster. Then the upper dash vent (defroster) and the speaker grilles. Then you can take out the speedo cluster. From there just follow the edge of the dash looking for screws and bolts.

I prefer taking the dash off without the metal bracket that it bolts to. I think taking off the metal bracket with it makes it a lot harder due to the wires/steering column. I just follows the dash looking for screws holding it into the metal.
