Update
I have removed the engine and transmission/tcase, all the wiring harnesses and basically anything that is unboltable within the cab and engine bay.

after some urging by one of my friends I removed the outer cowl by cutting out the spot welds. Im sure that I have created a ton more work for myself but I will sleep better at night knowing that I treated and repaired any rust under that cowl panel.

the plan from here is to
1. cut the fire wall and A pillar away from the body and have it dipped or blasted. not sure which yet (any advice appreciated)
2. break the frame completely down and wire wheel then coat with Eastwoods Rust Preventative paint then top coat
3. Fix rust on the firewall/A pillar
4. Start building the Blazer from the ground up (i.e. 1 piece cab floor bolt on first, then the step up, then the bed floor, then bed sides and finally the fire wall.)
