Easy heater removal ???

[artm]

I have a '97 D90 with AC and need to get at the blower motor. The manual says remove hood, drain the coolant and remove the AC blower but I've heard otherwise. Can I do it a simpler way?

I think if I remove the ECU I can then get to the heater but removing the lower bolt of the ECU cover is already a pain. Also, getting at the screws in the footwell behind the AC blower seems impossible.

Any help appreciated.

But I remember someone else being able to get it out without removing the AC, but it was a real PITA.
