Ok, I have done a heater core replacement and I can positively tell you that there is no way to remove the dash without draining the AC.

I won't lie. It's a big job. But to me it's surprising just how few bolts holds the dash in. It's a one man job until it's time to lift the dash out.

I found it easier to work with the front seats removed.

Do you have service manual on how to do the job? If interested in getting a copy for yourself, I maybe able to help. PM if interested.
