How to remove the heater controls from an early 911?

Hi all. I'm in the process of changing the vinyl on my dash face, and I need to remove the heater controls to do it. I can't seem to figure out what the next step is after I remove the 8mm nut holding it to the chassis. Do the heater lines easily disconnect, or is this one of those projects that looks easier than it actually is?

I cant remember the details but its more difficult than it looks. There is some hidden mount points or something that make it tricky. Getting back in place is even worse. I think I remember its a lot easier with the radio out if you have not already removed.....for weight savings :-)

A most annoying job. If you're patient, the faceplate can be pulled out enough to work the vinyl around and under it. Just have to remove the one bolt for that.
