Does anyone know of a good thread here that diagrams/documents a dash teardown?

I'll be working on my stereo and alarm this spring and wanted to get an early start researching this before I started. I have the Helm manuals but I'd like to see some actual pictures of how to get the dash off without breaking things, and read any tips that others who've done it might pass on.

Didn't see anything like this in the DIY section.

There are little metal clips that snap into and out of place. It feels really akward to be pulling apart a new dash, but be gentle and you shouldn't have any problem. It comes apart like most GMs that I have messed with. You pull and pull and pull and eventually it will pop out and you have a cheap piece of plastic in your hand. The radio comes out after undoing 3 or 4 little hex head screws. Sorry no pics though, it was painful enough to see if tore apart for no longer than it was apart.

I've got mine torn apart completely right now... Took about ten minutes. Really easy to do. I'll take some pics of it apart and the location of some things and post in a day or two.
