what do you need to know i did my 89lx twice. does your car have a/c? a/c complicates the job

i would get a haynes manual. makes it a lot easier. make sure its a ford heater core b.c the rest leak and you dont want to do the job twice. and just be careful when sliding the new one in. i also didnt lower my steering wheel like most people did. i just slid the dash up and out through the passanger side door. most people says it takes like 5 hours but i got mine done in about 2. simple jobjust boring
