Unhappy Remove Heater Core from 1970 GP a/c?

Hi, I have a 1970, Grand Pix, A/c car, Restoration project. rebuilt the engine and tranny then started the car for the first time, in 20 years. When I started the car all systems looked good, went to turn off the car, there was a pool of anti-freeze on the passenger floor. Is there any literature, or manual or suggestions to remove the heater core that doesn't include the use of a hammer?

I replace the heater core in my 69 Grand Prix .
I was intimidated by the project but it actually wasn't that difficult .

Take your time , You'll get it ...

cutrone,
Thanks for the words of encouragement!
I can't believe I didn't take a look at the heater core before I started to restore the car?!!
My car is the same colour combination as your, hope mine looks that good!
