I was looking at buying a 1969 Mustang Grande. it needs new floor pans and the heater core needs to be replaced. I don't mind replacing the floor pans but I want to know how hard it is going to be to replace the heater core. do I need to remove the entire dashboard or can I get to it from the glove box?

Just from my own experience ive taken out my passenger seat and just layed in the car with my head up under the dash and that seems to work well. just have a flashlight and some eye wera cuz when you start movin stuff debris falls in ure eyes and it sucks.

Remember that the ductwork is also 40 years old. The new heater core may work great, but if the ducts leak, warm air kinda diffuses all over, which is especially bad when you need the defroster to really work well.
I'm not saying your ducts are bad, it's just something to check. If it turns out you do take your dash off, it's not that hard. Take the opportunity to oil/clean your clock, gauges, and audio.

Heater Core
if it does not have ac it will not be to bad. but if it does, there is a lot of stuff to remove.
