The chilton manual are always incomplete. There just for basic repairs. You need to buy a shop manual. That's the only to go.

The FSM manuals are handy to have. I buy Chilton's manuals for my daily drivers but a FSM and Chassis Manual are essential for your Olds.

To remove the heater core you might have to rake out the passenger's side fender well and remove the air plenum from both the front and back of the firewall. I'm not 100% sure though, sorry.

Be sure to watch the cables as you drop the box down.

You can get new ducts at NAPA. They aren't cheap but it sure beats using the aluminum heater ducts you can get at the hardware store.
