No no no, the dash does have to come out on the 5k cars.  At least on the '84 -
'88 series, I did the core on my '84 a couple years ago & the dash does need to
come out.  Not to remove the core, that's all done in the engine compartment,
but simply to hook up the vents & such to the blower housing.  Been there, Done
that, got the T-Shirt.  Removing the dash wasn't fun, but I can't imagine doing
the job with the dash in place.  Or with the hood on the car, for that
matter...
