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.
