I just did the heater core in my green 93 mtx a few weeks ago. First off you will need a special tool to disconnect the ac lines that go into the heater box from under the engine bay. Second there are 3 screws across the top of the dash, 2 on the lower bottoms, and another one or two around the steering wheel area. The steering column has to come out first. I didnt disconnect all the wires, I just pulled the dash out far enough so that I could remove the heater core box. There were two bolts that you have to undo in the engine bay to get the heater core box out. There is a web page on line that details how to do the heater core for a regular taurus, and it helped me a bunch. You should do a search on shoforum to try to find that page.

Woah, he took way too much stuff apart there in the link........ I skipped half of that when doing the heater core in a 95 sable at work

 

[shocowboy]

what would you suggest skipping

how much of this stuff do i have to do under teh hood other than pull the anti lines off as far as the wireign harnesses goes

drop the steering column, remove all the bolts for the dash as described above....if AC is done for and u dont wanna keep it, cut the lines..I DID...otherwise remove them w/a special tool...and there is two bolts on the firewall/engine side that has to be removed to get the black box out, it's a tight squeeze if you get in there, just drop the wheel, pull dash back, and squeeze in there once it's all removed, it's a PITA i know...good luck.
