As far as the spare is concerned, get a space saver spare (donut) to use as a spare and just leave the one in the continental kit there. Get one off a Lincoln, LTD or big Mercury. Make sure the one you get has the same bolt pattern (4 1/2 X 5).
The heater core will come out from the engine compartment. Get a shop manual, I'm sure it describes the process but you first remove the the flexible connector and then work back to the firewall.
It can be removed from the inside, but it's a lot more involved.

Second the heat isn't hooked up? Not sure if the heater core had a leak and that's why they didn't hook it up? does the heater core come out from under the hood or inside the car?
Thanks,
