I'm pretty sure they used the same panel face for sticks or autos, just no indicators behind the stick. That oil gauge is aftermarket.

The dash is spot welded on. It'll take a torch or a sawzall to cut it off. Why would you want to take the dash off?

sorry not the whole dash, the padded part over it, the rubbery piece which is peeling up and warped and moldy and nasty in my car. Its the piece the gauge surround and gauges screw into.

Hunt down the screws. Its one of the only pieces I've never removed from a Camaro. I still have to pull mine before I blast. Camaros didn't get an oil pressure gauge so that solves that. But Vall answered already. I don't know about the bezel but the cluster itself is the same for sticks and autos.

Yes, if it's just the dash pad it comes off from below with screws and clips that hold it. Not fun to get at, but you've got most of the obstructions out of the way. Just need to remove the glovebox insert to get to all of the screws. If I remember they're 1/4" nuts, so it takes a 7/16" wrench or socket.

I did mine tonight. Ha! Yup, pull the glove box liner and there are two nuts. 7/16
wrench will get them. I used a ratchet wrench and it was a breeze. If you can peel the edge by the door back you can see what your doing too. Got mine down to a shell for real. Kick panels suck. Pulling the wiring from the trunk sucks too.

This thread might help with the dash?
