Does anyone know if there is a special tool to take the screws out that hold the glass in 
an exterior mirror head?

http://www.auto-glass.com/carmirror/amc/index.htm

is on my VENDORS list

http://www.planethoustonamx.com/AMC_Vendors/amc_vendors.htm

and has a good how to page there which may help. They also reproed many types of mirror 
glass including I believe the one you are asking about. These retangular head mirrors AMC 
used from 1970 thru about 1981 (I believe 83-84 for VAM & Exports) these mirrors also same 
head as Jaguar type. Not same neck though.

There is big file under RESTORATION on my site that has a whole slew of mirrors, 
interchanges, cable lengths and more which might help also.....no tips on removing the 
glass however, more on what fits what since everyone confused, even AMC on mirrors:

Good luck.........there really is no trick to it, jast can't slam a few Starbuck triple 
mocha frappinos or case of Red Bull before attempting to remove the glass, best tilt it as 
far as possible to one side, and get small screwdriver, not normal size to get in there, 
if you can spray a blast of PB Blaster with the long red nozzle in there first it also 
helps.
