Carpet Removal Help

[ECWMark]

Trying to pull the carpet from 86 t-bird to put into 88 cougar. Looks as tho the center column (where the radio and ashtray drawer sit) is sitting right on it. Can I remove the carpet without having to remove this column, and if not, HOW THE WORLD do I remove the column?
