Is this more complicated than replacing the heater core?

There is no freon any more in the system.

I hope someone can give me an idea.

Thank you.

No it's less so... because when you replace the heater core, you first have
to evacuate the A/C.

And that's obviously not the case there.

Everything else is the same, though.

Change the heater core while your at it.......

And its not Freon, its R134A. If you don't have the proper AC tools
your pissing in the wind.
