Did you block off the coolant hoses to the heater core? Maybe a picture from the firewall side so we can see where you are at with the removal.

I agree with Tim, pics would be a good idea so advice can be accurate

The heater core is inside the cab under the dash on passenger side. The 2 hoses on the outside you disconnect over by the old fan housing. Only thing I can think of is when you crank the truck up it sloshes the left over coolant out of the heater core and it runs down into the cab. Get a shop vac and suck it out are better yet take the inside housing out of the truck also since it's not going to ever work again.;):chevy:

I would take it all out. If it's not going to be used then it's a matter of a few more bolts and all the inside stuff will fall in the floor.But if u leave it buy some rubber vacum close offs and put over the ends of copper tubes. They are in the help section at most auto parts stores.[/COLOR][/B];):chevy:
