You asked R&R time, not R&R + repair time. I can have the dash and the
heater assy in my hands at the boneyard in about 45 minutes. There's
just not that much to it.  (4 screws, a multi pin connector
(instruments), 10 screws, 2 bolts, a few wires, the heater knobs
(dash) followed by four screws, two hoses and couple more wires
(heater assy)) You might consider spending $25 at the local pick n
pull for a 2nd heater assy.  Rebuilt it at your leisure. Install in an
afternoon AND see exactly how it comes apart on a rig you don't have
to drive tomorrow!
