Hey Cliff,

I have yet to read your write up on removing the heatercore but when I did a 92 Wazoo car, only thing I can think of to avoid pulling the dash was cutting the heater core inlet and outlet and splicing the inlet and outlet to a new heater core.
I ended up removing the dash and the whole thing took about 8 hours. At the end I was left with a plastic tube about the size of my thumb and three 7mm screws. I think the plastic tube probably was a connection to side window defroster vent on the edge of the dashboard.
Having replaced the heatercore once, I have been religious about replacing the coolant every two years.
