I am getting ready to tackle the heater core, just looking for some tips, and is the a/c evap easy to remove, thought I would check it while I'm changing the heater core.
You don't have to pull the whole dash. You can do the job with the dash in your lap, and if you cut the heater box and pry it open, you can remove the core and replace it, re-seal the box, and be done with it with somewhat less hassle. But no matter what, it's like they started with the bare heater core and then built the entire car around it. ****ing PITA.

Is it an a/c car? I have done a few in 86's. the non a/c cars,I think (its been a while)had bolts on the outside of the heater box where the core just slid out, you dident have to pull the dash. don't go for the cheap replacement. my brother replaced one only to find out after it was all back together that it was bad, and leaked...You would think afer 2 decades someone would have made a replacement heater core box with a removable cover. I agree you can cut open the box and reseal it, but that is kind of shade tree IMO.
