I think you just have to remove the air box and the coolant/wiper reservoir to get room to remove the hvac box (engine comp side).

Now there is a 10mm nut on the inside of the cab you have to undo to get the box free. Its under the glove compartment.

Most of the time the evap doesn't have to be changed pull the in line off there is a little black filter in the line. Use needle nose pliers pull it out and check that first
