Completed !
Yes, this job was a PITA but it's now complete. Thank you to all who replied. Actually, once we figured out what we were doing it wasn't too bad. FYI, disconnect vacum lines & electrical connectors, the glove box comes out, the steel brace under the dash comes out, the radio out, then four nuts on the firewall under the hood & the ac connection on the firewall. AC didn't work anyway & didn't have a charge. After these things are off, it takes a little strong arming & manuvering to get the box out. The blower motor comes out still attached to the box. The biggest problem we had was figuring out exactly what had to be disconnected. None of the manuals I saw had very clear instructions & I looked at several. After these things were disconnected, it still didn't want to budge & I'm not one to get too violent with things but it does take a little force as this box has been in there 16 years & didn't want to budge. We could probally do this job again in 3 to 4 hours tops as we now know what to do. If anybody else is doing this, I'll be happy to walk them through it. And yes there was coolant on the floor before we started & it was pretty darn cold driving in the 20's without heat.
