Will I have to remove the dashboard to pull the hvac housing out? Or can I remove and replace the evaporator core by removing just parts of the middle console that are in the way?

The dash has to dome out, then you pull the HVAC housing. From there you split the housing and remove the lower shell and then you can get to the cores. No way to do it with the housing in the car. Wish there were but there isn't because of the way it's designed.
