Cowl Vent Removal

Hi All - I'm working on a '48 5-window Chevy for a buddy of mine. Doing the S10 conversion, 350TBI, 700R4, etc, etc. Anyway, he want to remove the cowl vent. Before I just destroy the thing...how do you safely remove one of these? I have not done it before, but I looked at it for a few minutes and it appears that there is some sort of butyl or other weatherstrip that's gluing it down. Is that all there is to it? Heat it up a little and pry it out?

I know you guys like pics, so here's one.

Thanks for your input.

Pat
