I have done it before where I just reach underneth where the speedometer is & push the retaining clip with pulling on the cable to release.. not easy.. but better than having to remove all the dash cluster..
I have always used the factory replacement cables fron Rick's First gen Camaro because it comes with the factory firewall grommet already installed..

So, does the dash pad come off to get this done? Does the dash itself come out--both? With the Vintage Air ducting under there, it doesn't appear that I can do it from under the dash. I'd hate to take it all out just to find out I didn't have too--so thought I would learn from others experience here. Also, any advice on replacement cables? Classic Industries, Year One---etc?
Thank you for input!
