OK, I figured out that to remove the ductwork above, you have to first remove the piece below that goes under the seats. No easy task. The plastic was not brittle at all, though, even after 17 years.
My toughest puzzle so far...the dash would NOT come out. Why? It seems that the guy who replaced my windshield a while back glued parts of the dash in for me. No extra charge.
I did not remove the steering wheel. I was going to but couldn't get the bolt loose. I figured I'd come back to it later but it turned out that it was no problem. I did remove the ignition switch.
I used a bit of compressed air to blow out the heater core so I wouldn't spill coolant in the car.
I've ordered ACM evap w/expansion valve and all new pods and a dryer and pressure switches.
I haven't broken anything. The drain hoses are one thing that deteriorated over time and have to be replaced.
It sure feels like I've gotten up close and personal with this car!
