Default Heater core install w/badly cracked dash

Just wondering if I have a new heater core installed will the dash just crumble up? Anyone had their heater core replaced with a bad dash added into the mix?

If dash is already busted up, it will most likely crumble some more....

when the wife and I did our heater core our dash didnt have any signs of cracking and we still managed to break part of it putting it back together....one small piece broke off taking the vin number with it down into the defrost vent, that made for fun retrieve.
