Open the hood, find the heater hoses. Where they go through the firewall, that will be the heater core. If there are hose clamps there, take them loose and pull the hoses.
Now look at the same place the hoses were inside the car. That's the heater box, the core is inside that. Take out the box,(don't forget there are also wires connected that control the fan, unplug them), remove the core, put the new on in, replace the box, connect the hoses, add coolant as needed.

Grand Am Heater Core

These are a major pain in the *** to replace so prepare yourself for a big bill or a long time to do this. You have to drain the coolant system some and remove the hoses to the core under the hood. Then start removing all sorts of panels and dash parts to get at the core. On some of these cars we had to remove the entire dash to get access at the HVAC duct work. I would get an exploded view of the dash and the directions to do this from the dealer. Good luck.

drain coolant remove heater hoses and the little drain elbow from the out side of the car underneath towards the center of the fire wall. remove cover from the bottom of the dash on Both sides of the center console remove the floor vent from the center of the dash remove the cover there are 6 or 7 screws in the cover there are two towards the fire wall that are pain in the but to get and one that is about one inch from the passanger side of the cover if you don't remove that one, and it's hidden very well the box cover will break remove the straps from the heater core pull down and towards the back of the car. If you get this far installation is reverse of removal If your not uses to doing this sort of work you will spend more money at a chiropractor then paying the mechanic to do it. Good Luck

First drain coolant from the cooling system, next, remove the heater coolant hoses, and then remove all the heater box mounting bolts (some are inside and some are in the engine compartment.) Remove the heater box (housing). You may have to loosen the dash to remove the heater box. Then disassemble the box to install the new heater core.
