I'm sorry but it's not that simple. There's a reason why people take the dash out it's because there are screws and bolts above where you cannot reach with your hand and getting that heater core out and reinstalling the new one easily and not risking damage to it is almost impossible if you don't follow the factory procedure. They write service manuals for a reason you know.
Yep every mechanic i went to wanted to take the dash out and replace it for 800 bucks. I said no thanks. I did the same procedure you did. I replaced mine 4 years ago. My first time was a real pain. The 2 heaters hoses were tuff to break free from the heater core, i dont remember how i got them off, but that was the tuff part. Getting the heater core bolted back in was no picnic either. The rest was pretty simple. I drove it leaking for 2 months not being able to see how the windshield at night.
We don’t need our hand held but he skipped an entire step. Took the strip off, took the kick plate off. How did he get to the top screw on the box cover?
Yeah, my base 92 just doesn't look like that under there. It's a 3.1L v6 LH0 so it's probably just slightly different as far as the firewall goes. Of course it's a different engine too so who knows, the entire configuration could be unique to the package I have.
Good video man and don't worry about people who need there hand held step by step.Theose people shouldn't be working on cars anyways. This is exactly what I was looking for not a step by step video cause I only needed to find the locations
mine took a crap in the IROC but i figured scince it isnt a cold weather car there was really a point to fix it, did your windsheild fog up before you knew it was bad?
I didnt care for your video because you skipped how to take the kickplate off and how all of a sudden you find the heater core right in front of you. My son and I have been working over two hours trying to figure out how to get that heater core out of a 92 firebird.
Dude, You must be kidding!!!!.....Do you have a video of the actual job?......LOL.........Where is your airbox cover?............If your Bird is in nice shape like my '89.......Go by what the service manual says!!!!
This is the video I watched many years ago that made me do it myself. Thanks 91 RS

no the windshield did not fog. I just smelled coolant in my interior and saw coolant drips on the passenger floor.
im replacing my air box because the blend air door cable broke off at the door. doing the heater core at the same time. and the dash harness...
Its all the smae process for Camaro / Firebird 82-92 Also 4th Gen Camaros Too Possibly 2nd Gens Also Very Simple
mine took a crap in the IROC but i figured scince it isnt a cold weather car there was really a point to fix it, did your windsheild fog up before you knew it was bad?
Should this work for a 1994 Firebird 3.8L. ??? Will the procedure be about the same?
Video is real dark. I need to replace one on my 92 camaro.
Would it be the same for an 82 bird? everyones telling me its under the dash pushed all the way against the firewall
I'm wondering if my 83 is the same. I got a 5.0 V8..Does the placement of the core change based on engine and year? Just curious.
oh I see. So you justed bypassed it?
Could this be the same as a 4th gen firebird formula?
hey I need help on a Pontiac firebird 96' my A/C n heat harrly working
+Izzy A. What is the heat doing ?
Thank u!!!!
it not heating up like it suppose to
my heater coil isnt even hooked up lol
yes same steps.
I didnt care for your video because you skipped how to take the kickplate off and how all of a sudden you find the heater core right in front of you. My son and I have been working over two hours trying to figure out how to get that heater core out of a 92 firebird.
Then find another video and stop complaining
It just takes patience man, and a little common sense don't hurt either.
"This could be a how to video"...."I just showed you the exact procedure..." Are you serious? You didn't show ANYTHING.
Dude, You must be kidding!!!!.....Do you have a video of the actual job?......LOL.........Where is your airbox cover?............If your Bird is in nice shape like my '89.......Go by what the service manual says!!!!
