By heater core, I presume you mean the small heat exchanger that uses engine coolant to heat the passenger compartment. If it is truly disconnected, and the engine still runs without spewing coolant, it means a bypass hose has been installed in it's place, most likely because the core leaks and will fill your passenger compartment with foul-smelling steam. Other possibilities that would prevent your heater from working include blockage of the lines, or malfunction of the valve that blocks coolant flow during engine warm-up.

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. Place the new heater core into the car, and reconnect the hoses as they were connected to the old heater core. Screw or bolt the new heater core into the car, and replace all the other removed car parts.
