Not sure on your 99 Chieften, but on my 95 Brave(P30 chassis) the insturment cluster just flips up and i can get to all the vacuum hoses and controls from there. I have taken my dash apart to recover it and to add more wires for accesories, it was not easy. Had to remove the dash pod(8 screws) and all the wiring, there were 4 bolts under the hood, 2 bolts in the corner under the dash speakers, 6 screws(3 each side) just under the dash on the sides, 6 screws holding the 3 fuse holders in place, and 8 screws holding the defroster vents in place. Once all those were out it took two of us to wiggle and man handle the metal cover off.
