Steve,
Removal of the heater box is necessary if you have a broken door.
You are sure that the cable is working and clamped to the door? Removal
of the heater is harder than it would seem from the workshop manual's
instructions, so you sure don't want to do it unnecessarily.
If the GT is a daily driver and you need it every day, I would continue
with the screwdriver method until warm weather. At that time you can
re-route the heater hose, bypassing the heater core, in case the job
becomes longer than anticipated.
