I did one this summer in my 86 to replace the heater core. You have to drop the steering column, remove the dash pad, center console, glove box, instrument cluster, heater controls, radio, relays and module above the glovebox area, unbolt every screw and bolt holding the plastic dash panel down, and remove.

does the 86 have the gauge pod like the 87s, or is it like the flush face 85s?

I recently had to do the heater core thing. just a quick note: when you are putting all the screws back together it is a good idea to put a little sealant or teflon tape on the screw first. it will keep away rattles that sometimes come from removing and replacing your dash.
