Re: Heater Fan Pictorial
Remove the center and radio consoles. The heater hangs from the bottom of the black assembly there in the middle. Use profanity to get it out - it helps.

Page 4 or 5 of that thread has pictures showing the location and removal of the fan box. Not hard to do.

Re: Heater Fan Pictorial
Thanks for posting this Wizard124, it was a big help. Some more cleaning and then reassembling with a new heater core, valves, pipes, etc. I might leave a note/time capsule for the next person to find when this needs to be done in another 30 years.......
