This is a strange thing that I haven't found any help on the internet at all.
It's a 1974 K-20.
I was trying to remove the instrument panel and I'm not sure what to do with the oil pressure line. Everything I see online only talks about the speedo cable and the power harness, which are both relatively easy to disconnect. There's no way I can clearly disconnect the oil line going to the gauge and the connector in the engine bay is a long way away.
The reason I was trying to get in there was none of my dash lights were working. It turns out the flexi-surface was just oxidized and with a few twists of each light they slowly came back to life. That said, I may need to remove my entire dash to resolve another issue (I can still smell mouse in the AC ducts). That will require a full dash removal I think.
