OHHHH I relly feel your pain, did the same thing in a 72. I took the lower portion of the box out. Hardest part is removing the clips in the back. I think I pryed them off with a long screwdriver. I took out the passanger seat to make it a little easier to manuver. Once you get it split apart you sill have to yank it around quite a bit to get the core out. I even broke off a corner of the bottom of the box, but luckily it went back together real well with epoxy. Be sure to remove the mounting screws too, you are going to have to shove the upper half way upwards to get the old core out. No easy way about it that I could see. To get the box back together I put the clips back around all the areas I could reach and sealed the seam with silicone calking material.
I think I would go without heat rather than do that one again. Hated every minute of it. Now after those inspiring words don't you just want to get to it?
