Fixed ignition this weekend-question re:method

Saturday, fixed the ignition switch which would not turn to the 'lock' position. Thanks to all for tips, etc. One thing I came across that I thought would be a show-stopper was the fact that it looked like the heater ducting would have to come out to flip the shifter/ignition housing.
After realizing the center console between the seats was not all to come out to get at the 'tamper-proof' bolts, I took out the upper center console, only to find the heater ducting would have to come out to get the shifter housing out. The ducting had access slots to get to the bolts, but to get the housing to flip to get the ignition switch out would mean removing the ducting.
This was not mentioned in Bentley (yet picture shows stripped car) and posters comments. Is this somehow different in 87? Or was I just too hopeful for an easy fix?
I got lucky and after getting t-p bolts out, found I could raise the housing enough to clean out the cog below ignition cylinder to fix my problem.
Se pic re: heater ducting holding shifter housing in place. I welcome any suggestions re: not having to remove all carpeting and heater ducting in the future to get shifter housing out.....
