The heater core is located behind the dash towards the passenger side. Usually, the whole dash has to be loosened in order to reach the core. It will have two heater hoses attached to it. You may have to loosen the clamps on the other side of the firewall under the hood to free up the core. Make sure you drain the coolant first though.
