It's really not bad at all. I did it in a parking lot in about half a day, and mine's a stick. Takes awhile to get the old one out but the new one goes in real easy.
Have all your sockets and screwdrivers ready. A very stubby Philips is needed as well as some little angle drivers to remove the vent screws. If you want to do it right, you replace the vent screws in the new dash so they are tight up against it.
Don't forget to unplug battery a good half hour before removing the airbag. If you have an auto, remove the gear indicator cable before dropping the steering wheel.
If you're using LMC dash (I hope) then it fits real nice and snug like the oem does. Be careful with the underdash plastic as that's brittle too. The new dash is much softer and bendable.
I'm actually doing my heater core today after lunch so I'll add more tips if I remember any.

The LMC dash is the best out there, period. It fits much better than genos and is already the correct color. I highly recommend it.
I'm more than half way done with the heater core. Got the new one in just have to put the dash back. Much more involved than just replacing the dash top. I had to nearly fully remove the dash and hung it from straps to the half-door latches on the roof so I could reach behind. If you're just doing the dash, you only have to loosen it enough to roll forward somewhat. And its much heavier with the airbag still in. Have to remove all the shifters and boots/consoles since I have a stick.
