No, that's for a cavalier. Somehow I think that's a bit more than "2 screws u need to remove one on the left that should already be removed from the top dash and one on the top right corner by the vent."
check the FAQ, it tells you exactly what needs to be removed to get the lower dash out.

0o0o i thought he was talking about the front bezel my bad...
I just got finished pulling my dash so I'll give you a brief rundown. The top dash cover and trim bezel first, which it sounds like you've already done. Then the heating & air ductwork, air bags, hvac controls (more on this later), radio, steering wheel (you need a puller!!), turn signal/wiper levers, and instrument cluster. Order you do this isn't critical as long as you can get to it, but I went ahead and got the airbags out of the way first. You've also got two little vents that aim towards your windows at each side connected with flexible ducts. Passenger side can be disconnected below the dash in the center of the car, and the driver's side I disconnected at the vent itself after I had got the dash partially pulled out.
HVAC controls: I pulled the knobs and unscrewed the middle temp control and uh, position
, control on the right instead of undoing the cable and all the vacuum lines when I took the HVAC panel off. Also, when you get the steering wheel off don't eff with the air bag coil.
i didnt have to disconnect mine i just unscrewed and let it hang there mines a 99 cav

I believe that's probably true. Whatever guide or book I followed instructions from said to remove it, but the dash will probably come out by just unscrewing it. I was doing the bulbs in mine so I just took the whole panel out but removed the actual controls and let them hang.
