94 A/C evap core replacement procedure help!
Hi all,
Major leak in evap core! 95 degrees and 90% humidity will surely help motivate the DIY'er! I have worked on other cars before and have all the A/C tools (vacuum/flush/gauges etc).
Ordered the core for $116 online and poked around the engine bay to figure out what the best approach was for this. Things look pretty tight around the bay area to pull it from there. Is the best way to disconnect and pull into passenger compartment?
Does anyone have a proceedure for this?
Many thanks to all,
Marc

Thanks Nitro!
That's exactly what I needed to know. Thinks look awfully tight around the evap cover - so it looks like a 2.6 hr pro job could easily turn into a 4-5 DIY job!
