Cold in Atlanta LOL come up here to Connecticut hehe.. My heater core just went too.. Doesn't look like to bad of a job, i've seen worse like a ford taurus.. The two hoses that come out of the heater core go to the lower intake

just did mine a month ago.just take your time and get a manual.look for the nuts and bolts for the box on the fire wall under the hood(the ac can bracket).you may have to disconnect the ac to get the box out or back enough to get the heater core lid out and the core.

hey guys! welcome to doing one of the biggest headaches in your mustang! Me and my buddy shawn embarked on this journey of unbolting the dash, taking out passenger seat so we could work, all the good things. BIG THING : DISCONNECT YOUR BATTERY WHEN DOING THIS. always be safe guys, and good luck
