No, but I can give you a sequence.

- Pull the center console.
- Pull the glove box
- Drop the steering column (watch for the bolt on the peddle bracket, and the air duct that runs under the column)
- Pull the gauge cluster out
- remove all of the bolts for the dash, and use two people to remove it from the car ... it can be kind of brittle.

Also be careful with the wiring clips, that 25 year old plastic is super brittle as well.

tip for the clock bezel...
After you remove the gauge cluster, you can usually fit your hand behind the dash and push the bezel out without cracking it. might be a bit of a pain, but worth it instead of going to the dealer and buying a new one.
