The amp is indeed in back of the equalizer.
When you remove the head unit there is a cable going down to the equalizer/amp. Power from the chassis goes to the equalizer/amp and thence to the head unit.
You should remove the equalizer/amp and the power/signal cable to the head unit mounting frame, the mounting frame(s) for both the equalizer and the head unit, the head unit. The new head unit might be installed in the old equalizer DIN space (somewhat easier to deal with later on) patching up to the chassis harness at the equalizer/amp connector. Lots of people then use the upper DIN space for gauges. I haven't done this on my 87...on the 84 I had the gauge package in the lower DIN opening and an aftermarket headunit on top. Not such a good idea because the upper DIN space gets warm and I'd rather look at gauges in the same sight plane when driving.
