How to get brake pedal out of 89 Mustang

I don`t know if the earlier FOX Mustangs like my 85 are different, but I find it easier to just remove the entire brake/clutch pedal bracket out as an assembly than removing the brake pedal alone. You need to drop the steering column down, but with those 2 nuts removed, and 4 nuts securing the bracket to the power brake booster, or manual brake adapter mount, plus i screw at the dash frame, and it comes out in about 1/2 hour. On my 85, I used an actual manual brake pedal, adapter and master cylinder for a 79-82 Mustang from the local wrecking yard. On my cars, there are 2 different brake pedal pivot positions, 1 for manual, one for power brakes. By 89, I assume power brakes were standard, so your bracket may only have the 1 hole.
