In my area, the auto salvage yards don't remove them, you have to pull them from the car yourself. The disadvantage of this is that you have to do the work, the *advantage* is that you can be careful, and be assured that there is less damage to the core.
 
Thanks.  I just called around to a few places, and that's what they told me as well.  They also said they charge $40-$45 for them, which seems like a lot considering the avg new AC Delco price is $119-$129. 
 
I noticed in the archives that Bill Eslick used '86 Caprice cores, but he didn't mention the actual dimensions.  I would worry that what might have fit fine in an RV-6 cowl might not fit an RV-3 (standard cowl, not BUC). 
 
Cheers,
Rusty
 
Rusty Look up an auto air conditioning service business and go talk to them. A small leak makes the cores useless at the pressures the A/C works at but won't even be noticed by coolant. Bet you can get them for $5 or less.
