I continued tearing down the body. In order to access the windshield bolts- all four of them- you have to take off the 700 bolts that hold on the dash. All in the worst places possible. All put together by tiny contortionist monkeys that can reach these damn things.
There are actually 7 of them that go through the upper cowl and a couple that screw onto the 3/4" lower crossbar.
Its easier to get to them if you take out:
the glove box liner
the center vents
speedo and tachometer
oil pressure gauge
and are a contortionist monkey with a 7/16" wrench.

I usually use blue painters tape and mark the wires that way, but I just used the label maker so it will be quicker to re plug it when the time comes.
The wiper motor and wheel boxes came out easy - except for that one nut- there's one in every job- that had to be heated to get the wheel box off.
Remove the defroster vents, then you can get out the washer jets.
On the other side of the firewall,
Remove the brittle air duct hoses behind the radio area, unbolt the heater, pry the heater out with the biggest crowbar available, remove all the crap that's gotten in there over the past several decades.
