What Have I gotten into...

Yeah i just have the dash disconnected and kind of dangling, left the main wires connected on the drivers side. Using a bungy to suspend it and pull the passenger side away from to firewall, my only thing is getting the dash back right. Interior has never been my forte. Where are the bolts to remove that box where the heater core is, are they all on the firewall side?

Next time you think of working on a heater core...you might want to do this instead:

mmmhmmm....
Seriously though, i need to dig into my heater as well. not heating the way it is supposed to. BUT...as summer and 120+ approach...THAT can wait.

As jaybubyagee said. Their are four bolts in the engine bay on the fire wall. One support strap on the inside on the passenger side. Their is a vacuum hose that comes out where the heater core comes through the fire wall. Its plastic. Be sure to disconnect that to. My heat stopped blowing out in the floor and it was because that hose was broken.

All great ideas.
otgarzā: The pictures I didn't do (I always mean to so I can do a write up). However, before I started, I went and bought a 100 count of ziploc bags (never know how many bolts you might have!) and put bolts in bags and labeled them (e.g. Bottom Left Front Gound wire) it really helped in the putting it back together.
mackgraham: I wasn't going to replace the evaporator (was just too dang expensive), but then, I found out the IDIOT P.O. decided to put silicone on the expansion valve bolts to where I could not get the expansion valve off, until the bolts broke. so I went and bought a new Evap for 80 bucks ($40 off with my nice discount) and then spent the day trying to find the bolts that connect the evap and expansion valve.
I do not know who came up with the idea of having the evap block and expansion valve block screw together with a bolt AND NOT HAVE THE BOLTS COME WITH EITHER ONE! I went to Lowe's and picked up 2 M6-1.0x50mm which fits perfectly.
This definitely wasn't as bad as I thought. When I posted this I just had the dashboard dangling and it was just a little overwhelming. I need to connect the A/C lines back up then recharge the AC and add anti-freeze, and I am done. I am at 10 hours collectively over the last 3 days (shop said it takes 9) so I am pretty proud of myself! Now, lets up it starts up and runs with heat!
