I have a small problem, my heat doesn't work!!!! I just did the dash warp fix, so the dash was pulled back, and all the wiring was disconnected. I double checked all the wiring, and everything is fine. Everything else works, compressor, lights, radio, etc. but there is no heat!!! Please, someone... anything...

Is the fan working? Might double check your vaccum lines as those are pretty easy to disconnect and or damage.

How could it be the heater core? I don't see how I could've damaged it with the removal. Or do you mean wiring going into it that I might have overlooked?
Yes the fans work, at all speeds. I have all the ducting hooked up.. since I get air from all vents, and all defrost areas.
Anyone???? (thanks for the help thus far)

be sure that your engine isn't overheating... it could be your water pump.

The engine is fine. And if the engine was overheating, I would have heat.

Check the thermostat!

Not if the waterpump goes out. Since the heater core relies on the waterpump to circulate warm water to provide the heat, it's possible for the engine to overheat and you to not have heat in the car.
In any case, I think your problem is related to the dash swap rather than a mechanical malady of some sort. I know on my car when I had a loose vaccum line I could turn on the heat and the fan, but the gates for the different places for the air to come out were closed as they are controlled by the engine vaccum.
Another possibility is if you had to disconnect the heater core, it might not be hooked back up correctly or one of the lines feeding it with hot water might be kinked.

Where should I check the vacuum line? I'm not even sure which hose you are talking about...

IIRC there was a mess of vaccum lines that ran into the heating assembly that sits under the dash. I'd start by pulling the kick panel under the dash in the drivers footwell area and also the plastic trim surround that houses the heating assembly and looking for loose/kinked lines.
