I think someone has done it without removing the dash, but don't quote me!

I don't have any pictures and it has been a while since I did it, but removing it is not complicated, just a long and awkward job. Be careful how you handle it when moving it out - the struts across the radio housing area for example are not very strong!

I think you can get one part of the heating system out without removing the dash but I can't remember with one. It splits into 3 pieces and you have to take them out in the correct order as they clip together and lock into place.
I think you can get the bit out that is behind the glove box first. Remove the glove box to get a better look.

Thanks guys yea it was a hassle getting the blower unit out the unit next to it is the AC unit which has the piping connected to it then the heater core unit but the bar above it doesn't give me much room to get the bottom away from the bolts that the nuts connect to
