I finally got going on the heater install. It's pretty much done other than cutting into the radiator hoses. The instructions are pretty simple. If I didn't get the defroster kit, I think the only tools needed would be a 3/8" wrench and something to cut the hoses with. I had to cut two holes on top of the dash for the defroster ducts. The unit is very nice steel construction and the mounting bolts line up with holes already in the bracing under the dash, no drilling required. I'll try and get some pictures of it up as soon as I get it fired up and check for leaks. Here is a link of the heater kit, it includes everything needed for the install. Universal Parts, Inc.
If I get to a hardware store before going home I will get a ball valve to add to one of the heater core lines to turn off the heat in the summer, if not I will just add it in the spring.
