Heat Box Removal
 

I have a 72 Coupe that needs torque box and floor repair. It has leaked through the cowl on the ps. The car originally came with AC. I have been staring at the heater /ac motor assbly box for about 45 minutes with the assembly pics from Ford's original blueprints. My wife thinks I'm looking at a two headed frog waiting to talk to me.

For the life of me I can't figure out how to remove the box. I have already taken off (what I think) are all the retaining clips from the two sides and the front.

How does this sucker come out? Does anyone have any experience in this? Thanks.

If yours is anything like mine was, its a royal pain in the butt to take out.

How many clips have you gotten out so far?

I've got I think all of the clips off. But the box itself doesn't want to separate from the defroster column. The entire dash is off so everything is open. Do I have to remove the hoses from the a/c unit and the water pump?

Whew, cant help you there... I dont have A/C and im guessing your defrost is different (column?). My only suggestion is to keep wiggling the box and try to find out where it is getting hung up and work it out from there.

Pics might help if you have some.
