	Before you jump headfirst into doing this heater core let me say,  at the
dealer we get 8-10 hours to do this.  AND it takes every minute of it.  The
entire dash from the windshield back must come out.  Then the
heater/evaporator housing has to come out.  No fun trust me.  If you are
not really experianced with doing jobs like this I would recomend taking it
to someone who has done it before. I realize this was not the smartest of
designs but there is nothing we can do now.

	Good Luck
