Default 1992 Sapphire 4x4 Cos built-In amplifier?

Hi All,
My Saph has the completely standard tape deck and graphic equaliser fitted at the moment but I want to upgrade it to a regular head unit with a small sub/amp in the boot.
But I believe these cars have a built in amplifier, located under the dash somewhere ?
Is this a major job to disconnect or bypass ? And will need to do the same to the graphic equaliser also I assume ?
And a regular headunit, to be connected to all the normal speakers, is this a big job also ?
I'm getting a pro to do the work but just trying to anticipate any problems that may lie ahead. I assume I'll need a connector for the head unit to connect to the car also ?

Any help or advice greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
DW.
