3M makes an adhesive remover that works well. It should be available at most auto parts stores.

Re: 1972 side molding question?
Loosen all the nuts first. I used the LMC catalog as a guide so I knew where the threads, pop out clips, and adhesive was. I used a hair dryer to heat up the adhesive and it peeled right off. Had to us "goof off" to get the residual adhesive off. Washed it up and compounded the area where the moulding was and put the new stuff on. Looks awesome.
