Richard,
Another couple of tips.
You may find that the bolt on the drivers side is very long and makes removal tricky. Yu'll know what I mean when you try it. Before you pu it back it helps to hacksaw 1/2" off the length of this bolt. If you do this the bolt is still more than long enough and refitting is much less like a chinese puzzle.
When refitting the washer and nut to the vertical bolt near the front of the dash on the passenger side I found it helpful to to put a little bit of tape to tape the nut to the washer. Otherwise when you try and refit them it is a real pain juggling the nut and washer with the limited clearance you have to get your hand in. I have to take it off again this weekend to sort out my oil pressure gauge and this time I am going to use a small dob of silicon sealant to stick the nut to the washer temporarily. Again you'll see the difficulty when you try it.
