Btandros47,
The process is a bear to pull off. You really need to at least remove the center console. The lower part of the console is attached to the doghouse using Robertson screws (2 of them I recall). I believe there are 8 screws buried in the carpet attaching the doghouse to the aluminum shroud around the engine. Since I didn't know exactly what I was doing at the time, I decided to remove the center console and the entire lower dashboard, which really wasn't too hard. I just made pictures every step of the way so I could recall how to reassemble it. A vacuum hose had popped off resulting in a rough idle condition, prompting me to remove the doghouse back in August.
The doghouse has no insulation, so I bought so inexpensive FrostKing insulation and Gorilla tape to provide sound deadening, which worked very well! Instead of reattaching the doghouse with screws, I used these handy clamps (4 in all) to secure it and I did not replace the Robertson screws. Next time, the process should be much easier!
