Heater core on a corsica is tricky. It's under the dash in the middle. First disconnect hoses under the hood. Then remove plastic panel 8mm bolts under dash. Remove bolts holding the clips that hold the heater core in place. To remove the heater core you must peel back the carpet or you will not be able to get it out and a new one in. Once it's out, put new one in the opposite way. The carpet has to be peeled back and heater core manouvered to get it in and out. Good luck

SOURCE: how do i change a heater core on a 1995 chevy

Changing the heater core is a simple process. Getting to the core to actually change it can be daunting if you have never changed one before on a corsica. All cars are different in that you have to remove enough dash parts to actually allow you to get to the core and they are all different. This is why labor charges are so high for changing a $50 part.I have never changed one on a Corsica myself. If you do this yourself, take digital photos as your go along so you will be able to put everything back in the correct order. I know this is not really the answer you want, but you are probably not going to get detailed instructions on how to do it, other than just remove enough parts to get to the heater core. Go slow and figure out how the parts come off and what parts to remove. Not an easy repair even if you have done it before. Good luck.

I am looking for the heater core on a 1996 chevy corsica. Is it behind the firewall and can i access it from under the vehicle?

It is inside the vehicle towards the centre front of the floor, against the firewall and floor. If you want to remove it you will need to drain the coolant from the radiator and disconnect the 2 hoses going through the firewall. Remove the side panels from the centre console.Then comes the heater ducting and the core cover. You have very little space to work in so lots of patience is called for. And begging, followed by swearing and pleading. Once done you will have saved yourself upwards of $500 in labour costs.
