Any tricks to working under ‘71 Duster dashboard?

I've done under dash work with a seat out, I upholstered the seat so it needed to come out.
So much easier without a seat.
Have someone help to avoid damage to paint, the seat, etc.
At the least, remove the steering wheel, if you are looking for more room and easier access.
I guess you could also unbolt the seat and slide it back to gain space.
