Chilton Says:
Removal:
1. Drain Cooling system
2. Remove both heater hoses
3. Remove lower right hush panel
4. Remove lower right instrument panel and the ESC module if necessary
5. Remove lower right "panel-to-cowl" screw
6. Remove heater case screws
7. Remove the case cover
8. Remove the support plate and baffle screws
9. Remove the heater core and baffle plate from the housing.

Do you need installation?

I've done it in my 69 RS and other cars in general. I think it's not going to be as simple as the 69 and am expecting to have to take the whole dash out from what I've heard. Thought someone might have a good weblink to check out.

Thanks!!

UMM I could go outside and look but I think the heater core is under the hood. You have to unbolt the box and I think the top half comes off it.

Nope, it was bugging me so I had to go look. Just pull the whole dash. It saves time and agrivation of having to fight it out and the removal is not that hard.
