The best advice: get someone else to do it!
Seriously, it is probably the most difficult thing you can try to do in a TBird.
Seats and console HAVE to be removed. There are 5 or 6 studs through firewall in engine compartment that have to be located and nuts removed. Heater control cables have to be disconnected (and labeled so you know where to put them back). Also , buy a new firewall insulation as this is perfect time to replace. Highly recommend buying/borrowing a factory service manual before you start. Plan on at least 8 hours of your time to do this.
