Well hopefully I can get away with not removing the seats. I've done complete rebuilds on older dodge diesels just never torn this far into a gmt 800 dash lol. Wish the ******** at gm would realize their **** isn't bullet proof and make **** in more accessible lol. At least it's not as bad as some of the caddys that req an engine pull just to access the evaporator core

I didn't pull the seats and I only partially removed the dash. Just unbolt the middle and right side supports. Loosen the left one. Then the dash will pivot out and lift just enough to drop and slide the HVAC box out. I remember pulling the radio and cluster. Also the two knee bolsters so I could see what I was doing up in there and unplug the harnesses. Not sure what else, but it only took like an hour and a half to get it out. I didn't have a console though. For the console you could disconnect it from dash, remove two inner bolts from each seat, loosen the outer ones and slide it back maybe.

Still though before I dig into this ****... Does anyone know of a good ac shop/someone that can confirm that it is the evaporator core? I hate to tear **** apart only to fix the wrong $hit
