    do you have to pull the dash out to change the heater core or just pull the under dash ac off?
    what does the factory ac look like in the car? i dont know if mine came with this or not to me it looks like a after market under dash unit. so any picks would help! thanks you guys!

    The heater box bolts to the fire wall.
    If your car was factory a/c, you'll have a big rubber grommet with 2 lines sticking out into the engine compartment, non a/c cars, you'll see the blower motor in the engine compartment.
    You can get the entire heater box out, without removing the dash (that's actually harder)

    If your car does NOT have AC.....all you have to do is get the cover off the heater box and change the heater core. If you do have factory AC...it is a tougher job.

    Yea - I got plenty of wires. Most of those in view are sounds system "7 speakers" wires and wiring for the Autometer gauges.

    I put all my speakers in with zero wire's added. Went bluetooth/wireless.
    Didn't have the concentration needed at the time for playing with wire harness's. Don't ask how the speakers sound with heavy base tones. :biglaugh:

    What all this has to do with changing a heater core, is beyond me. Good way to ruin a good thread.(y)

    DDB...like you have room to talk about ruining threads with the Sasha Cohen Borat Picture... :vomito:
    Don't ever want to hear you complain again about a thread off topic... :rofl: My eyes still hurt.
