Default heater core non ac 1972 replacement

I have been reading a lot of different threads, articles, and the shop manual about how to replace this.
Some say from inside the car, while others say it can be done from the engine bay.
Can it be done from the engine bay?
And if it cant be from the engine bay, and i need to do it from inside the car, does the radio really need to come out?
thanks
