    68 Newport, can i use a non ac heater core in an ac car?

    Think I'm gonna start pulling it soon and just get eyes on it and make a determination from there. Maybe best case i can get it rebuilt. Maybe something came loose and it's not that bad? Unlikely with my luck.

    Thanks. Not sure that looks like mine though. This looks like 3 from the top down. I had 2 back facing on the bottom. Guess maybe I'm missing a 3rd but doesn't look like this one
