the easiest way is to remove the pipes to it from engine bay and use a copper pipe to bridge the pipes, so you will need to cut the ends off and use some jubiees on the pipes to secure it to the copper pipe standard house hold size copper pipe, if you do need to cut ends off make sure you leave and inch and a half on them so you can fix them back on when the heater core is replaced or fixed. just to recommend i would fix the core as soon as possible
if you are going to work on this car.. I suggest that you obtain the Chilton Manual.. sometimes these are available to borrow from your local library.. if not try Rockauto.com and purchase one.
Further I suggest that you take lots of pictures as you disassemble so you can get it back together.
If your doing both sides, the easiest thing to do is pull both rear tires and disassemble one side and reassemble using the side that is still together as a referance
Forget easy. Easy, is when you have room to work on the water pump. Remove all things necessary to do the job. Take your time.
Good time to replace belts and free up alt,power steering,vac pump,etc,bolts and get them moving freely. Don't try to do less.Do more, and save time in the future,when your in there for something else.
The first thing you need to get is a Haynes repair manual on your vehicle. Replacing the heater core will require significant disassembly of the dash board area and having that will assist you in getting it down right the first time.
