I take apart as little as possible to fix what ever I am working on. I have seen too many projects fall be the wayside once "the big job" is done.
I have worked on all the things in your note at various times without removing the entire dash. Since you will probably have to wait for parts to turn up/be repaired/ or be made, you may not wish to have your car completely un-useable for the duration.
If you have a nice car, the less you take apart the better, both for resale and condition.

I would like the opinion of those that have been there and done that.
This winter I want to work on all those little things. I need to:
1. Repair the temperature control. It worked when I first got the car a year and a half ago, for about a day, and has not worked since in any mode. A quick look showed at least a couple of vacuum hoses hanging lose. 2. Remove the radio and send it off for repair.
3. check the wiring, there is a switch or something hanging down that is wrapped in a putting, just wires hanging out. I assume it is to hold something together.
4. Replace the light switch with an original. It has previously been replaced with what I believe is one from an an early 70's Chrylser product.
5. Remove, refinish and replace all the brass trim.
Is it easiest to pull the dash to do all this? Is it easier to just pull one or both front seats so I can lay out to work?
Opinions, suggestions, and helpful tips that might not be in the FSM are appreciated.
Thanks,
Ron
