The heater core can be bypassed without hurting the car. You will need 2 hose clamps and one piece of pipe about 1-1/2 or 2 inches long. The clamps should be able to fit on 1 to 1-1/2 diameter and the pipe should be able to fit inside the heater hoses. Remove the two heater hoses at the firewall and insert one end of the pipe on each hose to make a splice. Before making the splice, slide one hose clamp on the end of each hose for easier installation. Use the clamps to attach the hose ends on the piece of pipe. Don't forget to put some kind of plug in the open heater core holes where the hoses were installed - also don't forget to mark which hose went where so there will be no mixups at reconnection when you are ready.

Not necessarily. It depends on what you mean by a bad heater core. The core will either be leaking or stopped up. If it is leaking, then it can cause the engine to overheat and the only fix is to replace it. A clogged or plugged heater core can sometimes be fixed by flushing it. You can also temporarily bypass the heater core until you can get it fixed. Just connect the inlet & outlet heater hoses together.

Keep the car's owner's manual handy. Remove the screws or bolts that hold the heater core in place. It may be that you need to remove more parts of the car in order to get to the heater core. Disconnect the intake and outtake hoses from the heater core. Remove the heater core from the car, taking special care to keep the core upright so no coolant spills out.
