Well this is the first major job on my 98 vert. I've dismantled most of the underside of the dash and am now trying to figure out the (hopefully) last stage. Undoing the heater assembly and getting that booger out. I'm getting a little frustrated and could use advice of anyone who's been down in there. I'll try to get some pics up soon for others in similiar situation.

Ok this project officially sucks. I have been at it for many hours now and am unsure where this path will go. Ihave all of the unside of the dash out and the two supports on either side of the center which helped me wrestle the black air box out. I've undone all the clips and pain in the rear screws I could find and that heater box still is not coming out I think I might need to remove the entire dash next
 Any advice is welcomed. Will put pix in next.

This is the way I bought it. I'm not sure what happened. I think previous owner smacked the front end, bent a wheel, broke motor mounts, and more. I believe the nose was replaced (used) radiator replaced (new) something probably got into the heater core to crack it and somehow a short blew the instrument cluster. Thats when they said "f*** it" and sold it. I bought it on ebay for $3150.00. I still love it and promise to put this car together nicely.

take the heater core lines out from the engine bay, then go to the inside and just start taking crap out. (organize as you go obviously). your entire center console, your steering column, the upper and lower dash comes out. and then last but not least..... remove the unibody crash support under the dash it goes left to right 4 bolts on 1 end and 2 on the other. then you will be able to unbolt the heater core and a/c cores (leave a/c lines connected). you can remove the heater core by puling the a/c core back a little ways too. once you get the white box out, replace the box if you got the whole thing or gently remove the heater core not screwing up the lines.
sorry for the long drawn out paragraph, im no english major i just work on cars... hahaha -------------------- 94' ST Coupe - 5sfe Motor swap and brake swap.

Well Finally got that thang out!!! Had to remove alot of stuff. I haven't figured out how to undo the wiring harness from the dash, so it's kinda just hanging there. Thanx to celicast3sgte and others for support. No thanks to my Haynes manual which was worthless. I really need to figure out why my speedo fried before I replace it. I have lots to do while it's a tore up. I'd like to do white gauge faces while i rebuild. More pix soon.
