Take steering wheel out, unbolt the sides and back, disconnect wire harness and heater then pull dash out.

If I were to charge you for a motor/trans swap I would charge $1500.

I personally wouldn't pay someone to do it cause it's too easy and can be done in about 4 hours.

You will also need to disconnect the steering shaft, as the steering colum will come out with the dash frame.
