pick a weekend to do it and clear your schedule. its a long tedious task, i suggest getting small bags and putting all little parts in the bags and labeling them so it will make it easier when things need to go back together.

i'd replace the evaporator core while your in there, so you don't have to replace that again down the road, and give everything a good cleaning

Just some tips.I use a cup cake bakeing tray to keep parts in order and a magnetic tray is always a real help.

Good luck and have fun.
