It's pretty easy to remove the non-AC box. I believe I got my heater core from Autozone, about 15 years ago. I also picked up some thin foam and weatherstrip adhesive and made/replaced the seals. I think some of the restoration places sell a kit with the door seals and such to rebuild the heater box. It has been awhile, but I don't recall the '69 box having clips (my '71 box did?) I think the '69 box has a metal back that is screwed onto the box.
Just lots of screws I believe. Here's a kit if you're feeling ambitious (moparts sponsors site). http://www.detroitmuscletechnologies.com/b-body/

I've done 3.
I always order the complete gasket kit from a Moparts sponsor. Always fits.
I always order the cores from Rockauto.
I always have a hand vacuum pump and I check operation of all doors after the rbuild to make sure no glue/gaskets inhibit movement.
Not hard.
