Default Replacing heater/ ac blower motor ?

Has anyone out there replaced their blower motor on a 80 vette. This job may be in my future and I was wondering what to expect ? Brent

It's a piece of cake. And the motor is only $15. They hardest part is finding the correct position to hold the motor in when trying to snake it past the a/c parts in front of it. It is possible, I did it two months ago. Once you get it out, put the squirrel cage on the new motor and put it back in.

Don't forget the weatherstripping that seals the blower motor to the airbox.

It's much easier if you remove the coolant overflow bottle first.

It's also a good time to snake the hose from a small wet/dry vac and vacuum around the coils--just don't hurt'em.
