... you may want to think twice about the heater core ... the blower itself
can be done without pulling the HVAC box from the car, but to do the heater
core will require pulling it and separating it.  For some reason the heater
cores on the T44 seem to last a pretty long time IME ... I changed one on my
BiL's '84 a while back ... that's it.  I've probably done 4 blowers though
...

When you need to do the heater core it won't be awfully bad though ... I'd
much rather do a T44 heater core than same on a 4000 or urq with A/C

HTH!
