A couple of notes here as eLearn doesn't really cut it.

At factory stage, the dash bracing is lowered in through the windscreen opening, with the wiring clipped off and HVAC pre-mounted. It's fitted after the pedal box.

This is generally an impractical process to reverse if you desire to remove the dash bracing or pedal box in a car!

Presuming you have comfortably got so far as to have the dash skin out and the steering column removed...

To get the pedal and booster assembly out, first unbolt the master cylinder and pull out the vacuum connection from the engine side. It's a tight squeeze.

Then from inside the car disconnect the clutch yoke (manual cars) and all wiring to pedals. Make sure all wiring is out the way. Feel behind the accelerator assembly mounting pad for a 10mm headed bolt, it's fiddly to get out but do this first. Next the three 10mm headed nuts with loose washers, around the perimeter of the booster cover shell. Approximate locations 4:30, 7 and 11 o'clock.

You now need to tilt the assembly down slightly to disengage from the locating nub near the steering column mount bolts. Once clear, start to pull backwards via the brake pedal arm. Watch for snags and trapped wires.
