Default Clutch cable install

This is my first time doing a clutch cable install in my 89 lx. I have a cage in the car (which I hate) and it makes it almost impossible to get my body in the car and look under the dash. I literally have to be completely upside down in the seat with my feet over the bar behind the seat. What's the easiest way to do this? Do I unhook it from the top of the petal (I can't even see the damn thing) or unbolt the entire pedal?

unhook the cable from the clutch fork first (use a prybar to move it forward)

then get under the dash and undo the cable from the quadrant

^ correct.

open the door, get on your knees on the ground and use your right hand to disengage the cable from the quadrant
