first i would like to you to check behind the glovebox i belive 89 is the year where they began being put behind the dash to make things harder, if its not behind the glove box then its under the dash.

to test the heater core, feel the heater core hoses right at the firewall and note back what you find, if one is hot, neither, one hotter then the other, or both feel just fine.
