I had to remove the dash and carve it up in order to fit around the new cage. What surprised me is how light it actually is. Just a big piece of covered foam, so I decided to keep it and look for weight reduction elsewhere. Once you’re behind it, you can easily remove all of the HVAC ducting to save some weight (assuming you’ve already deleted the HVAC systems).

Note on removing the dash: there is a plastic bracket in the front near the windshield that I could not figure out how to remove, and was the only thing hanging up the removal, so I did what any good grassroots driver would do, and just jerked it out, breaking the bracket. Oh well - don’t need it anyway.
