Help. Need to replace a/c evaporator core in 65 GTO
 
How do you remove the evaporator core from a 1965 Pontiac GTO? Is it removed from under the dash inside, or from under the hood? Any help appreciated.

I am actually checking for leaks using soapy water and 100 pounds of air pressure on the low side. I have drenched the under hood side including the compressor and condensor and found no air bubbles, so I am assuming it's going to be a evap issue or a connection at the evap core. Thanks in advance.

Read my post in your other thread about testing.
Personally I like WICKS suggestion to remove the wheel tub and entire fender.
You could do a precise and concours style resto on your unit. Right down to sealing the airbox with the factory body caulk.
It will be so easy with the fender and tub removed, otherwise your working over and under the fender...not so much fun.

Thanks. I have a 9000# lift 2-post Rotary lift, so I could probably get by with removing the inner fender well and having sufficient room. Of course the fender would give it much more room.
