How do you change the heater core on a 1979 Trans Am and does this year still require removal of the fender?
I just changed the heater core on my 1981 Trans Am about a month ago...NOT FUN. To start, I removed all of the AC ducts under dash. I also removed the "bubble" vent cover off the kick panel, and the complete glove box including the door. Zip tied alot of wiring and cables out of the way. There is one bolt that is virtually impossible to reach without removing the fender, it is also a pain trying to get to the lower heater hose. My solution: I did what Pontiac should have done from the factory...I cut a small access hole in the fender well. It's about 3.5 X 3.5 inches square. I was able to remove the heater hose clamp, and the bolt through the heater box. Just big enough to get my hand through, sand and file the sharp edges. As a repair...I went to a salvage yard, bought another fender well, laid the cut out portion over the spot, cut it out about 4 inches all the way around...made two tabs on one side and a tab on the other. Then I cut slits in the fender well on the car to put the tabs into, and drilled a hole in the other tab, and screwed this access cover back on. It's not factory original, and I'm sure some people would have a problem with it...but they may have never replaced a heater core before. Or, yes, take the fender and hood off. The actually removal and reinstallation of the heater core box is very time consuming, and if you have little or no patience....PAY SOMEONE TO DO IT.
The most important part of the operation is the installation, be very carefull with the new heater core outlets, they will bend and possibly split very easily.
There was a lot of careful twisting and manuvering done under the dash. This may not be the right way, but it worked for me.

Where is the blower motor located on a 79 trans am and how do I get to it?
The blower motor on all 70-81 Firebirds and T/As is located behind the passenger side fender. Complete pain to change. The best way is to pull the hood and the passenger side fender and inner fender well. Some people simply cut a hole in the inner fender well to get to the fan and heater core. Suggestion.....if you do either of these procedures, change out the heater core while you are in there. Save you from doing it again when it finally goes.

How do you install heater core in 1972 Chevelle?
It is located under the passenger side of the dashboard behind the glovebox. Non A/C cars are easier to change than A/C cars because the heater box is smaller, but it's still the same process. Drain the radiator, disconnect the heater hoses, then remove the bolts/nuts that hold the heater box to the firewall. You will probably need to remove the fender and fender well to get to all of the bolts. It's a real PITA to get to them all... Good luck!
