Did mine a couple of years ago and it wasn't too bad. You don't have to remove the heater box or discharge the AC to do it. You do have to drop the steering column down on the front seat but leave it hooked on. Now you have to remove the upper dash and then you have to unbolt the lower dash and pull it back away from the firewall and let it rest on the front seat. Lots of bolts and defenitely not fun but you can do it in an hour or two. Now you have a heater core staring at you that wont lift out because the copper lines go all the way through the firewall. I cut them off the heater core with a dremel and lifted the heater core out. I was just going to put 4 hose clamps on and splice the new heater core to the old ends but when I got the new Auto zone aluminum heater core it actually had removeable swivel type with an O ring hose ends. All I did was uncrimp the ends holding the tubes on the heater core and threaded them through the fire wall and plugged them back into the heater core and recrimped the swivel ends back on. It was really only about a half hour job to do that and there was no way I was dropping my AC to change it. I also added a couple of zip ties to the ends to make sure they never popped out under the dash. Also pressure tested it before I put the truck back together. Cost me about $45 bucks and a few hours labor and now I have crystal clear windows, no smell, and a really warm cab. You can do it easily. Here are the pics of mine. If you run into a snag just ask.
