mine wont throw any kind of air and when its -15 degrees its really cold to drive without any heat so heres the deal i was cruising around looking at a 87 mustang convtible and i noticed my heat i had it on manual high the electric climate control with the fun little auto button that i never use but ok so i had it on high and noticed it was blowing really weak so i turned it down and turned it back up and nothing was blowing so my ? is how hard is it to change and can i beat on it with say a hammer to get it going til i get a new one

A trick you might be able to use to get the blower trucking until you put the new one in... Tap it with something. Coming cross country in the heat of the summer my shoe worked well at a Steak N Shake around Nebraska.
To swap it out is pretty easy until it'* cold. Pull the 4 13mm bolts off the strut tower bar and remove it. Then you can get to the blower motor, a family of 7mm or 8mm bolts hold it in. That'* the tough part...gloves and small bolts don't mix. Wiggle it out and fiddle with it for a while to find the right spot to remove it. You might need to remove the rear engine bracket (2 13mm nuts) that has the fuel lines and O2 clipped to it.
Overall it shouldn't take you long at all, but it'* cold out.
