I'm following the instructions from the shop manual, but I'm having difficulty removing the headlight switch assembly.  I'm adding the Twilight Sentinel and Guidematic parts and wires.  And checking the condition of the vacuum hoses.  Here's where I am.

The lower dash panel is removed.  Easy.  Vacuum lines are just out of reach, can't disconnect them now like it says.

First long head screw removed.  Couldn't find the air conditioning hose that is supposed to be removed.  Second long head screw removed.  But now the switch assembly won't come out.  It is supposed to slide rearward.  It seems like its hitting something metallic.  Maybe its just a misalignment in there?  Anyone done this?

'68 Eldorado, cruise control, climate control, am/fm stereo, tilt/tele, 6-way bench, and vinyl roof.  Would love to add the twilight sentinel, guide-matic, power door locks, right hand mirror, headrests, and floor mats.  And how about leather buckets?  Oh, and pull the vinyl top.
