I have my glove box out right now. I'll take a look tonight. But I'm thinking you can't remove it.
What's on the end of the new harness? You might need to add a butt connector and splice it.
Take a look at this from Ames. It includes a length of wire. FA719 1967-1969 GLOVE BOX LAMP, WITH SWITCH AND WIRE (RE)

I know you need to take the light bulb out and the wire that feeds it just pulls right out. At least mine did.

The wire slides in to the socket and some how it is locked in to place.New harness has the same wire on it so there must be some way to remove it.Do not want to splice the new harness.Thanks Jim

I just looked. As rohrt said. There is a spade type connector that slides out. I did not pull on mine to see if it would just slide out as easy as his did.
Does the new harness have that spade connector? If so you should be able to reverse engineer what tab holds it in.
Good luck
