As for the entire shifter, remove the shift knobs, boots, carpet, and the two metal panels at the floor, then remove the 2 bolts and 2 nuts at the top of the shifter housing, then remove the bolts on the side and back of the 4wd shifter bracket located on the drivers side of the trans, once that is done you can kinda move it out of the way without removing the linkage.
Now you have access to the 2 bolts on the drivers side of the housing, remove those and the shifter assembly will pop right out.
