NO you don't take the dash out for a heater core, it actually slides out the driver side. The worse part about the job is getting the clamps back on. If you need a heater core let me know I have several used ones, or can get you a new one.

Ditto, the clamps almost made me take up drinking again.
They did make me use every good word in my vocabulary.
The wife refused to go into the garage.
