heater core questions

I have an 84 300zx and my heater core went out. I read a thread on here that said you can switch some wires around and not worry about it as long as you don't need the heater. I would much rather do that if somebody could tell me how. If not could someone let me know how to take off the dashboard. That is becoming a bigger job than I realized and I don't have the 600 dollars to pay for the labor. ANy suggestions would be helpful thanks

Not wires , hoses. The inlet and outlet hoses to the heater core need to be removed and connected to each other.

And suck out the coolant from the heater core otherwise it will go everywhere on the next drive.

Do I have to remove the dashboard to do this or no?

It'll drain when he removes the hoses anyway. If he doesn't have a shop vac , he should simply jack up the back end of the car , the core will drain. It's basically the reverse of how you fill the heater core when installing a new one........
