In the inner fender well area. You have to remove it (or cut it :) ) to get to it. Joe--ASE Certified Parts Specialist & 10th Ann.Club Tech Director '80 Carousel Red Turbo T/A, 27k orig.

You have to remove or cut the INNER fender. (wheel well) Some people cut a circle out of the inner fender and then patch it back up. I've always preferred to remove the bolts from the inner fender and fight with it till there's enough room to pull the blower motor out.

I'll say it again....
You have to remove the inner fender well. This is the OEM procedure from the shop manual. As mentioned, sometimes the RH fender comes off and makes the job easy.
This isn't a job for the weak of heart. Neither is the heater core. Joe--ASE Certified Parts Specialist & 10th Ann.Club Tech Director '80 Carousel Red Turbo T/A, 27k orig.

Just pull the hood and then the passenger(right) side fender. Its NOT that bad. I just did a blower motor and heater core on a '74 T/A two weeks ago. Its just nuts and bolts ...
