If you mean the front heater.

Remove the dash or at least get it loose and lifted up about 8 inches.

When removing the dash you will also have to remove the two headless bolts
holding the steering wheel to the dash,  be careful of the steering column
joint down below.

You will also have to remove a small trim piece next to the steering column
that helps hold the air diverter section in front of the shifter (standard)
Then remove the four screws and cables and hoses to remove the section with
the core and blower motors

Then there are metal clips all around the center edge.  Carefully remove
these.  The two halves may or may not not come apart.  If they don�t then
the factory seal is still on it and you will need to work a utility knife
into the seam and slowly work your way around breaking the little bead areas
until it pops apart.  You can now get to the resistor and the two blower
motors and the core.

And probably another few little things I missed like disconnecting the
holders for the glove box and levers and knobs and instrument cluster etc.
