    A/C or no A/C?

    If no A/C it's easy, disconnect the cables, wires and 3 nuts in the engine bay along with one inside to the cowl vent if it's still there.  Oh and the heater hoses too.LOL

    One other tip I can give you..The case is held together by several spring clips, the best way to remove/install that I have found is to insert a wide flat blade screwdriver in the bend at one end. Then you can easily open the clip back & it slips off/on.  Picked up my heater core from Oreily's, fit just fine

     Good time to restore the insides as well
