Alright... before I do the cutting - the arrow in your picture (the big arrow) is pointing down near the base of the evaparator box -- but cut here is on top.
Did you cut the top of the box? (or somewhere along the side)
thanks again

i just did this on a '99. it's different, but pretty close. i wouldn't bother cutting at the 'cut here for service' place. that whole housing cover is a soft plastic material, and you can cut it easily enough with a razor knife, but i found it was easier to just undo the cover and move it out of the way. first, remove the 2 10 mm bolts holding the cover on to the firewall (one needs to come out to get the heater core out anyway). disconnect the electrical connector to the blower resistor. there are 6 7/32" bolts holding the 2 pieces of the plastic cover to each other. remove the top 2 and the 2 closest to the front of the car. you'll be able to bend the plastic cover out of the way. then remove the 3 bolts holding the blower resistor in place and remove it. you'll be able to get a 10 mm universal socket on a long extension down into the A/C compartment and remove the last bolt. just be careful not to drop it, although if you did, you'd be able to get it out once you remove the heater box anyway. this is the bolt that the fat arrow is pointing to.
