I've done it on an '88 9K. They say it's awful but having done ones that required removing the entire dashboard, I'd say it isn't that bad. The step-by-step instructions dwell on the difficulty of getting the heater box out. It seems that taking the intake manifold loose from the head and laying it right where it falls greatly assisted getting sufficient clearance to get that box out. It's not necessary to remove the evaporator enclosure but tilting it up puts some stress on the low-pressure A/C line. Just be careful. I've heard that it's a good idea to replace the blower motor at the same time. It's right there sitting on the ground so there's no additional labor involved - just it's cost. We did both. My brother's '95 (cabin blower motor) is starting to make noises and the car has way under 100,000 miles on it. This car (ANY 9000) has a great cabin heating/cooling system in my opinion. I love watching it go through all it's steps as the car warms up: defrost, demist, high speed, medium, and finally to vent mode if it's not real cold out. 'Bout the time you start thinking of cracking a window or pushing a button the air switches from floor to face. Last system I saw do that was on a '71 Cadillac Fleetwood - which didn't compare in handling, fuel economy, or freight-carrying ability. I get about 28 MPG on a 5-speed, BTW. How I do go on. Good luck.
