Well I managed to do it, took me a while though...
Here are something to get before you start if you don't have them already, grease, instrament dash bulbs, and heater core, as you wont be going anywhere till you put everything bad.
1. Remove handbreak glovebox
2. Remove H shape cover on climate control and Ash tray.
3. Remove black cover on stereo and center console
4. Might need to remove the passenger side, side footwell panel to be able to remove the glove box.
5. remove dash glove box, and ECU.
6. remove lower panel of steering column cover.
7. remove hood over instrument panel.
8. You will have to reach behind the instrument panel from underneath to remove the speed cable to be able to get the instrument panel out. this is where the bulbs will come in handy cause when removeing the instrument panel it gets bumped around, and if your bulbs where anything like mine a slight bump will break them.
9. remove the demister vent cover to reveal two screws under each. now you should be able to see all the mounting points for the dash.
10. remove piler cover between the doors and windscreen, There are clips one at the top, one in the middle and then there is a L shape latch on them, you kinda have to try and remove the top and midle clip without breaking anything and then lift it up to remove it.
10a. Remove the dash.
11. to make life easier you should remove the steel bar that runs under the dash, as it gets in the way when you try to remove the climate control unit.
12. You can remove the A/C unit (gray box behind dash glove box) but you will need to get it re-gased. Bit more or a PITA if you choose not to.
13. undo all the Black, White and Blue cables runing from climate control console from the other ends.
14. Forgot to say Drain out the Radiator and disconnect the two pipes on the heater core. The blue cables runs into the engine bay, so you will can disconnet it while your disconnecting the pipes.
15. Oh you will also need to remove the black airflow duct to get to the cable that runs behind the climate control console.
16. Remove the climate control console.
17. Final remove the Climate Control unit and see the heater core.
Just put everthing back in reverse order and you should be as good as new.  Have Fun I sure did...
