You didn't need to take out the glovebox innards..

That carpeted peice is a bear to get in and out, you really have to work it out. There may be a few peices of plastic duct work attached to it, I don't remember exactly, but it all fits together like a puzzle.

Once you got that out, there are 6 screws to get in the blower assembly.

Be sure to hold the lower part, as the motor is attached to that part.
