The radiator doesn't have a lot to do with the heating system as it is more about cooling the coolant that runs through the motor. If you look at the lower center of the firewall on a civic with heat, you will see 2 lines. One going in and the other coming out. This is where your heat comes from. You'll need those 2 lines and everything else on the insode of that firewall. I suggest you buy a helms manual to fully understand all the details, if you don/t already own one.

But there's what you need for the inside of you car. :thumb:

Then there's the blower motor which isn't actually part of the heating system but might have also been gutted. http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/aut ... TER+BLOWER


Here's a link to the heater controls and the diagram on the right shows how the heater core and blower motor are assembled.

No problem! I actually have the heater core & blower motor from my car somewhere in parent's basement. If you can't find one local, I'll sell you mine.
