There are 2 bolts on the engine side of the firewall, one just below the battery box and one further inboard towards the distributor close to the heater hoses. There is also one screw on the floor that secures the heater box. Disconnect the defrost and heater valve cables at the heater control panel. Once thats done the heater box will come out. I also remove the glove box and ash tray for some room. Aside from the core it self leaking there's a 2" rubber hose between the heater valve and core and the water valve as well. When I recently had a leak I replaced the core, rubber hose and water valve. Its not the kind of job you want to do two or three times.
