Graeme,

OK, but why not in the outlet of the blower housing?  Much easier to access, 
unless you know a way to get at it without pulling the heater box.  Pulling 
the heater box entials loosening the clamps on the heater control valve and 
the other hose connection which are neatly tucked into the recess in the 
firewall.
