Ok.. Couple of options here (case of been there, done/doing that again for me.)
1. Mount it where the old AM radio came from. It WILL fit, but you have to butcher up the dash. Most new head units come with a metal mounting bracket that you will have to line up with the space left from the old radio.
What you do is cut out the hole (once aligned), then slide the bracket in and bend all the right bits of it. Basically you entire stereo is held in place by this bracket, no screws. Work well and if done properly looks smick-o. 
2. Mount it where your old tape player was. As mentioned, you'll have to remove some of the plastic surround on the center console, but this can quite often be an easier task that squeezing it into the dash. It is also down a bit low and can be a bit of trouble to change stations whilst driving (big no-no anyway.  )
3. Mount it in the glovebox. Not my preferred option, I like to show off my handy work/hard earned $'s. It will fit though, been done before. Wiring isn't really a problem here, but you'll pretty much ruin the glovebox for normal use ever again.. Mounting holes, wire holes, they all can't really be repaired, they can be patched but look crap.
Hope that helped you out.
In my opinion, the dash mounted options looks the best and is about the middle-difficulty. The hardest bit is making sure you align it right the first time. As they say, measure twice, cut once.
