72 Monte Carlo Heat Question

Hey guys,
Recently acquired a 72 Monte Carlo and a Big block but have a question about the heater core function. I assume the car is a non a/c optioned car as you can tell by attached pics anyways, where do i find my heater core hoses (if i even have a heater core). Perhaps heat wasn't optioned? I've searched and cannot locate hose bungs like on my 71. where do no ac cars draw hot coolant is my main question.

Looks like someone removed the heater core and filled the firewall, Barb. The heater core tube fit through holes, one above the other on the passenger side near the hood spring. Here's a link to Year One showing the core for the non-ac car - https://www.yearone.com/Catalog/1964....-heater-cores

Yup - what Roger said. OBTW - congradulations on getting another project! I've always liked the big Montes and hope this one gives you some fun. Keep us in the loop Barb!

thanks guys my son charlie is doing all the work. i am just playing technical director. lol

Barb,
I Googled "1972 monte carlo heater core" and found several YouTube videos on changing it, specific to the Monte. The non-ac heater cores haven't really changed much since about '47 other than measurements.

thanks roger

Barb, your heater core lines came out just to the right of the heater housing cover.( right as in you're looking at your pic. It would be the LH side of the actual cover) You can see where some one welded them up in your first pic. If they gutted everything, you might look at a universal heater to install in there for now to get you some heat.

thanks ryan. it is a far way from being to the point of start up. engine block is at the shop. just trying to get everything ready for the install of engine.
