I can't speak to removing the entire HVAC system, but replacing the heater core is a piece of cake. Once the cowl, wipers, and a few other minor things are removed the core is easily accessible from under the hood, behind the battery. It just drops in like a fat piece of bread in a toaster. It wasn't anywhere near as easy on a Pontiac, when I had to disassemble the dash to get to the heater core.

Good suggestion about borrowing a pressure tester from Autozone, although I wouldn't mind having one of my own. Can't have too many tools. I just bought a new torque wrench, and it's a thing of beauty.

Thanks for the suggestions.
