Why? That will cause rattles later on if you don't put it back correctly. Good luck hope you know what you're doing.

You dont need one, it isnt that hard, just remove everything removable, dash vents, head unit, central display, instrument cluster, AC unit, steering wheel, jack tube unit, foot well covers, glove compartment, then you can see how its attached, the main bolts are located at the ends of the dashboard.

I am just going to start taking stuff apart and see how that works out. Buying the fabric today or tomorrow. Will post some pics later on.

Well when you get the dash all together again if the pieces still fit properly, when it starts to rattle, squeak or pop here are some tips from albert101:
