1986 Heater Core ??

This may be a no brainer, but I am no mechanic, and I'm learning as I go.
I am getting moisture inside the car and the rug area on passanger side is wet. I am assuming at this point that the heater core is bad. I noticed when shopping for one that there is a heater core and a heater core/ ac.
Does this mean if I have ac I have to use the heater core/ ac ??
Thanks in advance for any advice you may have.

You might want make sure moisture is antifreeze and not just plain water from a leaky windshield. As i understand, replacing heater core is a major pain.

Do you smell antifreeze with the heat on ? If so then its your heatercore. Its not that difficult of a job that some people make it out to be.
