I took all mine off too. There are I think 3 screws that go through from the inside to the engine bay. After those, and the others on the engine bay side, pull it off. There will be the evaporator (I think thats what it is), and some other stuff you don't need. Take it all out. There will be 2 holes, a big round one, and a rectangular looking one. I have templates to make covers for those. Let me know if you would like one. Here is what mine looks like now.

if you wanna keep your heat, you gotta keep the heater core. Get a non A/C heater box. try ebay or ask around in here. or you can score one ina junkyard
