1988 caprice radio problems

well my problems is simple i dont wanna get to far into the dash and end up stuck. im trying to put a new radio in my car, but while examining the job before taking apart my dash i noticed the heater and ac control unit is all one peace with the radio. i tried undoing the 2 visible screwes but the unit wouldn't come out. i was wondering if anyone had installed an aftermarket radio themselves in a caprice and had any suggestions?

removal of the center plastic support piece ,,,with the first removal of the left /right pieces should give acces to the fasteners locking down the center piece which holds the radio in place..

If you look from the bottom up at the radio/HVAC controls, you should see two small screws that hold the two pieces together. Take those out and you should be good.

thanks alot you saved me alot of guess work last time i had to deal with a gms radio this old it took me 2 hrs to figure out how it came out
