You may not need to. I had the same problem. I had my heater core flushed. It had all kinds of black goo in it and now it works fine. I flush it myself about once a year now.

The heater core is leaking,this is what fills with coolant,and heats up from the engine,and the blower pushes the warm air from the heater core into the cab.The garage would be the best bet to replace the heater core for you.
As with all vehicles it seems the first part that they build around is the heater core. It is under the dash above the floor housed in a black plastic sealed box. Sealed with goop. Locate that box and start removing everything around it that is peventing taking the cover off. Of course disconnect the heater hoses under the hood a thefirewall.
no heat on this old of a vehicle definitly can indicate a heater core problem. sometimes flushing core with a hose can save heater core sometimes it will need replaced. make sure all coolant is properly disposed of if u flush core yourself
Remove the heater hose clamps and the hoses from the engine side of the firewall. From the inside under the dash on the pass. side, remove the lower panel screws and slowly pry the lower cover down and the heater core will slide out of the heater box. Installation is reverse of removal.
no heat when heater is turned on.
