The parts yard provided me a wealth of clips, and bolts and nuts. I can proceed now. Also, located the problems this weekend with my computer that kept me from using the W201 manual disc that I bought from this website. Printed off the procedure for removing the dashboard. It's so much more straight-forward than the way the Chilton manual says to do it.

Stay tuned.
