Sorry Marshall, I did not even think to check the workshop manual. I
gave my w126 CD to somebody with that model and figured the job could
not be all that involved. I forgot that the blower in the w115 must be
a close kin to the evaporator and designed by the same fiendish
engineer.

Wasted most of the day at PnP trying to liberate the condenser in a 85

myself just trying to get the dash out. Then we did battle with the
plastic body for the heater. That really was a head scratcher.
Having already destroyed the car, I am sure the next one will be less
trouble. I guess you just remove the whole blasted plastic body
housing with everything inside and call it good.
Did you read the instructions in the workshop manual 85-536 & 538
FIRST?
There are about 20+ pages describing what needs to be done AFTER the
dash and center console are removed (that's another 10 pages).
Removing/replacing evaporators in 126/124/140 cars is NOT fun - takes
12-30 hours depending on level of skill and which chassis you attack.
