So I have the dash out, that was no problem. I'm hung up on the AC Lines....
Do I Have to disconnect both of them or only one?

The one with the spring coupler I can get off, well actually more appropriately I know how to get off, I have the tool. However the line with the large nut on it, I can't seem to get it to budge. Is there a trick, do I even have to take it off?

Cut and paste from the article at Cool Cats:

"You first have to remove the a/c accumulator from the firewall inside the engine compartment. You don't have to disconnect the lines coming from it; just remove the bolts from the strap holding the cannister (I think they're 10mm deep well) and let the cannister hang. You won't bend the lines, don't worry. After it's off, remove the second set of large nuts underneath that strap. These are the nuts that physically hold the core box to the firewall. You'll also have to remove the rubber coolant lines going from the core to the block, and you'll need to drain your cooling system to do that. If the hoses are old and are giving you fits, cut them off lengthwise with a utility knife. Once you've done this much, your work outside the car is pretty much done for the time being."
