There are several nuts on the engine side of the firewall. Also make sure your heater and a/c lines are disconnected.

on the firewall, engine side: 2 nuts on top, 1 on bottom.

On my 89:

There are THREE (3) nuts that hold the heater box to the firewall. They are located in a triangular pattern with the top one located immediately to the right of the upper evaporator line, the lower left one located about 3-4 inches to the left of the lower evaporator line, and the lower right one is located 9 inches directly below the right hand heater core line. The standard nuts have a large washer-like shoulder.

You also have to unhook both AC lines.

OK guys, I unhooked all those bolts, and the box still didn't budge, would the AC lines be holding it in place, if so HOW do i remove those?? I knew the heater core was a PITA to do, but not this much....geez...PLEASE HELP :begging:
