Evaporator Replacement
My 98 coupe A/C died a few months ago and I took it to a repair shop yesterday and determined the leak is in the evaporator core. The repair cost $1100 is a lot but reasonable based on parts and labor estimate - if you play you must pay. However, I want to be informed on the job and what it entails. Can anyone give me a summary of what it takes to remove and replace the evaporator?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Well,,,,,,its like this:
When they build a C5 they roll frame out and then they install the HVAC system. Everything else is installed on top of it and around it!!
Your dash will look like it was hit by a hand granade once you remove everything necessary to pull out the HVAC unit!
