That would be a neat trick, but it's not going to happen, the heater core is inside the heater box, the box needs to be "split open" to remove the core, you also have to remove the heater box to split it... http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/...y5=HEATER+UNIT. 94

That depends on what you mean by not pulling the dash off.
You would still have to loosen the dash and tilt it up enough to pull the heater box back far enough to heater core connection tubes can be pulled inside the firewall so box will slide down and out, it's hardly any more work to just pull the dash out of the car and get it right out of the way.
You can drop the steering column. loosen dash, undo any wiring connection on the pass. side and lift the pass. side of dash and hang it with wire, [we use bailing wire] around the sun visor mount that will keep it out of the way so you can pull the heater box. 94
