It takes me about an hour, this guy did it in less than 3 hours. Your time will vary.

You will have to remove both kick panels under the dash. The driver's side is easy, 1 screw and unplug the floor light. The passenger side requires the glove box to come out to get to the 3 screws at the top of the panel. Just undo the glove box screws and pull it out - if it has been a while, pull harder!

I wound up just clamping the coolant hoses on the engine side close to the firewall, rather than draining all of the coolant. That leaves about 1 quart left in the core. So, have a plastic bag ready to catch any coolant coming out of the pipes and core when the connection is broken. BTW, newspapers absorb the coolant nicely. Try not to spill, it is a bear to clean.
