I had to play Gumby, and twist and bend to get under the dash of the El Camino, to get to the cruise control module. It is pretty much impossible to see with the seat in place, so mostly work by feel.
Just a clip to push down and slide the module out, then unplug the old one, and plug in the replacement. Then the hardest part is getting the edges of the module aligned with the clip all by feel, and get it to slide up into place and get the clip to secure it in position. All by feel alone. And I needed a second joint in my right wrist, or use my left hand for the start and switch to my right hand for the final push.
Then a test drive, and no more surging!
One of the hardest parts was finding a fresh rebuilt unit for a 1986 vehicle. Lots of used ones on EBAY, but those are total crap shoots, and likely to be NFG right from the box. I wish I could find someone that repairs them as I have two bad ones on the shelf.
