You may want to consider using an fm transmitter. The system in the car is a two channel relatively low-power setup, which will not sound good at all with modern headunits (not to mention you will only be running front or rear channels). And you will have to cut up all the wiring to make it work.

I am in the process of reversing this in one of my cars, so if you end up taking the head unit out, I would gladly take it off your hands.

Is there a small horizontal slit in each lower corner? If so, you need keys to get it out.

Also, these do not have removable face plates.

If you cut off the "plugs" for the becker unit I would like to buy them from you.

Remove the ash tray, the two screws behind it and the piece the ashtray sits in. Then there are two metal tabs below the radio that you can now access. Pull these down to release the radio and pull it out.
