I just did my heater core in my 1981 luv. I had to remove 4 bolts holding the air box in remove the switch panel from the radio slot, and remove all the duct work. Also had to remove all the cables that change the box vents. I didn't have to remove my dash, I just bent the metal under frame to create enough space to pull the hold box out. It was tight bout only took about an hour to competely change the core.

I saw a few dash conversion kits that would have been nice if you ever take it out again. You can convert the dash over so it is NEON. It was nice looking.
