Darn AC vent

[Tom Sawyer]

Hi folks
1980 c10 Silverado with AC
I have fought and lost and may have broken something. Please....How do you remove the lower left AC vent?
It should not be this hard.

I had to disconnect the duct that runs from that vent to the middle of the dash, disconnect it and then put it back in place, Takes some finagling to pull the duct back/out. Then you can push the vent back into the dash and drop down. May have to remove the light switch. But it does come out.

@Tom Sawyer,
Those two screws on the right, button phillips head screws aren't screwed into a couple of nut plates on the plastic housing? Unscrew them and the plastic housing ought to come out the back, inside the dash. Like @My78truck says to remove the hose over the back of the housing, it just slips off. You may have to twist it as you are pulling to the inside, under the dash, to get it off and it goes back on the same way.
I've had my whole dash disassembled to clean all the ducts and all that before. It's not that hard. I had to take the ducts out again when the interior was painted.

Oh yeah, and the headlight switch may have to come out, I forget.

As advertised above gentlemen, thank you. I was able to unscrew light switch but leave it there and just push it over.
