I replaced mine on my 81 242. I bought one at a boneyard for about $10. Replacing it required some careful work in tight quarters, but I was able to do it without removing anything more than the side kick panel by the driver's right foot and the side kick panel by the passenger's left foot. Have something ready to catch the coolant when you take off the hoses from the old one. And watch for sharp things around the area. Also, IIRC, I gained a better view of the situation by removing the kick panel to the left of the passenger's foot. I might have disconnected the other end of a hose over there to make it easier to work from the driver's side. I can't remember this for sure. However, I do remember that inspecting the situation from the passenger side helped a bit.
