Why would you do is as part of a dash removal? The heater valve is not
behind the dash. It is outside, behind the radiator. You change it by
dropping the spare tire and reaching up there while on your back on the
ground.

82 watercooled have it inside next to the glovebox but still no reason
to remove the dash.
