Head gasket, exhaust color, oil color and clarity, can you smell antifreeze under the hood? I think that no heater core means that you will not have a heater core leak, and not much else. If it leaks under the hood and evaporates or blows away, you will usually still smell it.

check your thurmo for the fact that your car doesnt warm up.... but you have to have a leak somewhere or yea you have a blown head gasket. you can smell your exhuast and if it smells like coolant then do a compression test.

That doesn't necessarily mean that the head gasket is good.

I'd suggest performing both a pressure test and a combustion leak test on the cooling system.
