Halfway through the heater core

I hoped to avoid this rite of passage for a 9K owner, but it was not to be (It was done on a used car warranty on my '96)
The core in the '95 CS is leaking like I owned a coolant factory, so the time has come. I managed to forget to order the part from eEuro this week, so decided to spread out the expected pain and take everything apart today and finish the job next weekend. So I printed out various procedures here, from Fix My Saab, and Quasimotors. And braced myself.
Now it's all apart and it only took a couple of hours. I worked slowly, took pictures to aid reassembly, and made sure not to break anything. Given the horror stories people post, I expected this to be truly awful, but I've had far worse repair experiences. (Getting the alternator in and out on my '96 was more difficult.) On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the worst thing imaginable, this was maybe a 4. No cut hands, no cussing, just figuring some things out. I actually didn't bother with the procedures I had except for finding how a few things were connected. They seemed either too brief, or didn't have what I needed. I'll do a write-up of my own and post it here once the whole thing is done.
