Is that really the only way to get to the pod?I am really interested in anything on how to replace the center vent pod.

John,
The pod you can see up top is the diverter pod, NOT the center vent pod. Look at the photos in my link above, that shows you where everything is. Pulling the dash is the ONLY way to access the center vent pod.

If you just want cool air out the center vents in the summer, switching the #4 and #6 vacuum lines will work as a temporary solution - I drove the car like that for 2 years before fixing the center vent pod. It was better than the "wind tunnel" with 100% of cold air coming out the two end vents...!
