Regarding 61-105 (engine compartment panel removal) and 94-050 (noise encapsulation removal): I do believe this is related to removing the speedo cable. The speedo cable is attached at the back of the transmission; bolt has a 10 mm head. When I did this job, I did disconnect the speedo cable per the instructions. I put the car on ramps prior at the beginning of the job.

Regarding the the Euro style knobs vs. the US pushbuttons: that middle panel comes out basically the same way; you just don't have to remove the knobs and nuts first.

Regarding the glove box vs the airbag: there is a bolt with a 10mm head which holds in the air bag. The bolt goes straight up in the center of the passenger knee bolter. Follow the general instructions on airbag removal; (disconnect bat, then the red plug). After you remove the bolt, the air bag will slide out, and there will be some framework which needs to be removed.
