Two clamps up top, two 5/16 bolts on the bottom at approximately 5 and 7 o'clock position. Takes some doing to sneak it between the seats.

Hopefully, it won't be as much of pain to get it out of the way as it was in my chevy van.  I found it much easier by lifting out one seat.  Which is a bit of a pain in itself due to the weight and space, but it was easier to work in there after that.

The dogbox in my 89 is four bolts down through brackets to the floor and then slide/lift/wiggle it out. Chevy vans were a PAIN! The plugs on the V8's were dead in line with the floor and real close to it on the passenger side.

I didn't know you could pop the seats out until I'd owned mine for a year.  Do that first.
Mechanically challenged but willing to break, cross-thread or totally bugger up nearly ANY expensive component in the guise of repair.

I don't know about yours but my seats don't exactly "pop" out. They are freakin' heavy and the seat belts are all wrapped up in them. They will lift straight up off of the post but wow! They are a bear to handle and once it is off what do you do with it? There is not much room for you AND the seat to move around in.
