Default Heater core R & R w/ fact a/c- who has done it?

My core is leaking ( I know- NO ONE wishes they were me).

Am curious who has made this repair?

Does the dash pad have to come out? or can you get the heater box out with the dash in place to swap the heater core? It seems you cannot.
Then, there is the suitcase-

Have already pulled the console, passenger seat, r fender well.
Have suitcase somewhat loose, etc It does not appear I can remove it without pulling the fender too. ugh

I've replaced heater cores in several GTOs and Catalinas and this Firebird seems 10 times as difficult so, am learning to hate the car because of it.

Hoping I do not have to pull the dash assy but, it appears I do.

Anyone done this have any tips? thanks
