do i have to remove the windshield on my 71 to get the dash off?

i thought it had to come out (forgot when i did scraped my other A-bodies a few years back) im gettin ready to scrap another and i dont wanna take the windshield out untill we get it moved along side the garage cuz i gotta leave the steering column in to move it, and dont wanna leave it exposed to the eliments
