I just bought a 1991 vw golf for very cheap to hopefully last me a few months in the winter. The heat does not work, and since I live in Maine, it is a big deal. I have been doing lots of research on the internet and have discussed it with my dad and we are not sure what it is. I have the gist of how the whole system works, but is it a difficult job? And what steps would be best to take first and how should I go about doing them?

I had the same problem
i thought it could have been the heater fan
which it could be
turned out to be a switch at the front panel
it is your choice wheather you buy first or second hand replacement
As to installing it yourself
i dont recomment it without a large amount of mechanical experience
i tried and it did not go well
alot of panelling is involved

cheers

basically take it to a garage

Step 1 - A heater cannot operate unless the engine is full of coolant/antifreeze. If coolant level is low check the system for leaks.
