Anything holding it in, including to the cabinet.  It has to be slid out
towards the front, rocking back and forth to clear the sides.  When you have
it out, remove the rubber plugs in holes in the floor underneath so the
coolant can drain out when the heater core eventually fails.  Much better
than having it run under the floor board where you'll never get rid of it!

Also, the valve does not completely shut off, there is always a bit of
coolant running through.

Hi Stewart and others,

by bottom do you mean the very large 4 bolts in each corner?

I see one bolt going into the outlet space by the tank.  I found another on
the passenger side connected to a bracket with two screws.
These are high up on the sides at the front.  are there other bolts holding
the box on the sides?

In the back I found one screw on each bracket over the engine.

Does the whole bottom come up and out with the unit?

I'm extra careful as the first time I took off the heater cover the left
screw was completely frozen and I eventually twisted so hard it broke off.
I don't want to do that two any other bolts or screws down there.
