This is just a guess, but my inclination would be to pinch off the heater 
hoses in the engine bay (hopefully you have heater hose shutoff valves 
already installed, but if not, good vice grips sandwiching strips of wood to

protect the hoses will work, then disconnect the engine bay hoses from the
pipes 
going forward, open the heater valve, and elevate the nose of the car to 
enable the heater core to drain.   That will hopefully allow you to then
remove 
the hoses in the cabin without too much mess.

I was supposed to be doing this job on a friend's Pantera this week in 
fact...we'll probably get to it next week now.
