I just did it this past weekend - 2nd time for me. Still took forever. Masking tape to label the electrical connectors is a good idea. Some kind of labeling and binning system will help you get all the correct screws back where they belong. Mostly I followed Bentley, but I had Haynes which has a good blowup of the whole heater box. I assembled the heater valve and the hoses to the box while I had it out of the car and this helped as access is easier with the box removed. When you put the box back in the car make sure you situate/route the wires before you bolt it in. I took out the dashboard and all the bracing and console except for the bracket that holds the steering wheel. I don't know what else to say. Don't rush - just resign yourself to it taking forever. I hope that helps.
