Default Gear Shift Handle Removal??? How???

I have just accquired a nice 1972 Camaro. However, the carpet is worn completely out,..so I purchased a new carper kit. My problem is,.. can't figure out how to remove the gear shift leaver so I can remove the console, allowing me to install the new carpet. This is an automatic with the correct double handled shift leaver. How do I remove this shifter??

Thanks in advance,
Danny

The only thing you should have to remove is the shifter botton and the plate that surrounds the shifter and a couple of screws and the councle should just come out

So you're saying that all I have to do is remove the plate screws and the entire shifter will come out? That sounds too easy.
