Ah yes, the toughest job on the car in my opinion. You have to detach the actuator rod from the brake pedal. Just getting that clip off and back on is really a pain. You should probably take the seat out. You'll need to lay on your back and remove the four nuts that hold it on. They are threaded on the bolts a long way and you'll curse thousands of times trying to remove them.

Congratulations..This is a PITA.. :smash: :smash:
The booster is connected with 4 nuts on the inside of the firewall.The best way is to drop the steeringwheel,so you get a little more room in there.Its tight.The worst bolt is the top left one.
Just loosen the the two bolts for the mastercylinder and pull it back,gently,about 6"..That would give you enogh room to remove the booster.
When i did this i had to invent new "Power words" because i ran out of the usuall ones :lol: :cheers: :cheers:
