I've done it several times over the years on my 1980, so I've got that down.

Now I've got to do it on my 1992.

Can anyone tell me whether there are any surprise differences between the early and late models that might cause me to break something?

Only obvious differences are that the 1992 has power windows and the door speaker attaches to the panel rather than the metal frame underneath.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Make sure you have a T10 or T15 wrench as the armrest screws are NOT Phillips head they are TORX head.

Use a putty knife with a 3/8ths slot cut into the center 1 1/2 inches deep to fit behind the snaps and pop them out without damaging the fiberboard.

Doug,

I think the only real difference is there is an additional screw holding the arm rest in place. Up forward on the arm rest.

Yup, the third screw and the power window switches need to be unplugged, with the connectors flipped inside the panel as you remove it.

The armrest needs to rotate upwards till it releases just as in the older ones. Also the later mirror lever traps the door panel a lot at the top.

It should be very evident as you take it apart. The speaker is mounted to the door panel, and the plastic on those later door speakers does like to break, btw. Good luck with it.
