Funny you mentioned the baby blue clips holding the heater core. When I rebuilt the heater plenum on mine, I blasted and repainted those in baby blue paint. And I remember asking myself why I bothered to worry about the "correct" color on something that would likely never be seen by anybody again!
I guess mine was signed by 84/8...lol. Here's a pic of the underside of the dash above the removed glove box with the missing nuts.
