How to install a glovebox?

[19stang66]

So I finally bought a glovebox for her. I see it won't fit through the front of the opening or through the rear. Do I have to remove the heater core to get the glovebox in? Kinda seems like a pain in the butt to just install a glovebox. Is it hard to remove the heater core? I have the lines plugged but I think there is probably still some fluid in the core.

On the '65-66, you remove the glove box door, fold the glove box slightly and slide it through the front opening. Unfold the box and attach the fasteners. No need to remove the heater core.

I got the box in fine but now i'm having trouble with the door. The bolt holes are stripped out. Can I tap those? I've never done it before.
