Tips on Heater Core repalcement?
:?: Any tips on replacing the heater core on a 2000? Have a strong odor of coolant inside, and today started getting some fogging of drivers side windshield. Has dual (driver/passenger) temp controls (not sure if that was standard on all or an option). Looks like it could be no fun... Thanks in advance for any tips and recommendations.

Update: Heater Core Replacement
Update for anyone interested... decided that repalcing the heater core was more than I wanted to tackle... involved removing much of dash and center console. Took to a local non-dealer service center who replaced it for a little over $400. Part was about $170 from GM, rest was labor. Did a good job... seems to be OK.
Asked that old core be returned however I could not determine exact leak point... seems to be where one of the inlet/exit tubes connect to body of core... no corrosion or anything visible. There is a rubber O-ring at this point... looks like it was leaking for some unknown reason.
Thanks for the earlier help.
