You'll need to take out the entire dash to remove the heater core. Also you will need to loop the coolant lines that used to go to the heater core.

But I have to ask, why go through all the trouble? It's not like the heat is taking up valuable space or adding that much extra weight. I think it will hurt the resale value of the car too. I would only do it if this is going to be a track car. :thumb:

definitely not worth the pain in the ass :thumb:
