    I think I'll remove the heater box in my 73 while I paint the engine compartment, it's an A/C car. Does anyone have and experience? is it going to be a pain? I've pulled the non-A/C ones a few times, and they're easy, I'm just wondering??

    ...Why ? :huh: this it one of those.."if it ain't broke"...things.

    Well, anybody want to tell Dave how to do it? I'm interested as well, I want to pull the one out of the 73 parts car and use the condenser in my 74 which has had the condenser removed by a previous owner. Some time in the future I want to reassemble the A/C and have cool air, so really, how is it done?

    Yes, took an experienced helper and me 6.5 hours to remove and change heating core on 74 Comet...I've got some picture of set up..I can email to you...TOM

    Don't do it..unless you have to.
