Well. this is something I've said before
I replaced the heater core on a 70's era Olds and Ford.
(Clamp hoses, disconnect, pull about a dozen screws. Life cover, pad, core,, Get core rebuilt, replace in reverse order, Top off cooling system)
Today..
Evacuate ac system, disconnect lines at firewall and cap off
Disassemble passenger side dash.
Slide A/C Evaporator out on its rails
Life core out from behind it (After clamping and disconnecting hoses)
What use to be 15 minutes is now an hour and a half.
Ford AC system. Could be completely removed STILL SEALED from under the hood.. Was a bit tricky to do it sealed. but it could be done. Today... See above
