IMO/IME you'll just create a new mess doing that.  I wouldn't recommend
breaking safety glass............ever.  No matter how well you might
cover the interior with a tarp or whatever, you'll be vacuuming up
little square pieces of glass for months to come.  Seriously.

You could Saran Wrap/vacuum seal the whole interior and that glass will
still manage to somehow transport itself (think Star Trek) under the
protective layer and into your interior LOL!

Also, I'm hoping to avoid the mess that I had with the
'86 with the black tar-like sealant when I remove the
cracked windshield from my '89. I didn't care what
kind of mess I made in my parts car, but would like to
keep the '89 clean. I wonder if I break it first and
then pull smaller pieces out, if that will keep the
stringy, gooey mess to a minimum?

Thanks,
Mike
