Vega heater core replacment

Postby cliffsgt » Sat Jul 02, 2022 5:40 pm

I have a '72 Vega with A/C - how do you go about removing the heater core?
A/C has been deleted under hood, blower motor and housing has been removed under hood, I'm on the interior part looking to remove the heater core.
One of the problems is removing the A/C vent on the passenger side, under the glove box. No screws and it looks like it has to be removed.
Any advice on how to remove the heater core would be really appreciated!
I've heard that a heater core from a Ford Taurus will work, anyone with any experience please let me know on this.
Thanks!

I copied this from a 1974 Vega manual and may be different ??.
I have never replaced a AC heater core only non AC, looks like a PITA hope this helps.

Hey and thanks for getting back to me.
Yeah, your right it has been a PITA and I haven't even gotten close to getting it out. Your '74 Vega manual has a lot more info on heater cores - my '72 manual has about one paragraph! Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place - we'll see.
Thank you very much for these copies - Let me study it a bit and yes, I see a difference immediately on the A/C vent under the glove box but the 'Box' the cores goes in looks about the same. This is a big help. Thank you.
