It appears that the heater core on my LT1 Trans Am needs replaced. I *think* that I just need to remove the glove box and I can remove the heater core through the opening. Is it really this easy or will I find that I need to pull the dash off the cowl like I had to do with my old 88 IROC? That was an unpleasant surprise and I guess I am trying to figure this out so I know what I will be dealing with when I start.
I am just curious about what sort of project I am getting into. Thanks. |

Keith Book time for lt1 is 2.5 hrs. I havent had the Pleasure of doing a 4th gen one but they don't look to hard except for the heater hose's. As for a 3rd gen heater. You do not have to remove the dash board to remove. Even though the labor guide list 6-8 hrs or something like that. I've never removed the dashboard and can have the heater on the ground in about 1/2hr. Keith if you want the Alldata repair info drop me a fax number in a Pm. But Viper's direction look better than what I have.
