I did it in my s10, ALLDATA said 9 hours for a pro. My dad and i did it in 2 1/2. I may just stick with my powerinverter and a heater.

Oh hey i found my Chiltons I've been looking for... lol i said the Blower, not the heater core! The book says i just have to take the overflow tank off and it pulls out of the firewall in the engine bay. Looks like odGreen was right
