That is what I also remembered from my previous attempts. I could just barely reach to the body of the passenger side recirc pod through the glove compartment opening, and later on when I removed the instrument cluster for another unrelated repair I remember being able to see the driver side recirc pod very buried inside the dashboard.
So no hope of a shortcut I guess...
