Yes, ye ole' 61 Chevy fix,
Had this just last week. Rerouted hoses, bypassed core. Did not care heater core was shot, in that it would have been gone soon to finish off full cage anyway. I am ditching a/c unit, heater, and blower motor. I've owned enough VWs that a little lack of heat does not bother me. And if I needed a/c, I wouldn't have got a convertible.
But in your case, three screws, patience and yoga, some pesky hose clamps, core, and a towel. These will get that horrid smell out and get ya warm.
