Heater box removal

[KennyCuda]

Im going to pull the heater box out i've never done one. I know the 3 nuts on the engine compartment firewall and I was told a J bolt on the right side im not sure where that is but is there any other securing points I should know about or will it pull out.? Also is the ground- grounded inside the body or to one of the 3 nuts in the engine compartment mine is inside my engine compartment when I look in but ive also seen it on the engine compartment nut where is correct. Thanks

I have removed several heater boxes and the 3 nuts and j bolt are all I have had to remove other than the door control cables, heater hoses and the electrical plugs. I do have a photo of the ground connection on my 72 as the box isn't installed yet and it's put together exactly how it was removed.

Do a google search for “e-body heater box j-hook” and you’ll find multiple posts with pics and on how the j-hook comes into play.

Thanks so much now I got it- the jay hook is threaded and only the mounting nut is visible he pictures explained it all. I did goole it but it all came up as AC boxes and from what im told there more complicated

Look inside the heater. Found a fender tag in the defroster duct.
