Hey Dave
I am having issues posting that Darth Ripley is trying to sort out for me, hence the PM.
As for the HC issue, NONE of the parts houses have the correct one. I spoke with the USA main supplier and their numbers are incorrect. They do not offer the correct one for the AllTrac. Sad
What I ended up doing was finding a local Radiator Repair shop to fix it for me.
I had the same issue with the pipe outlets that you apparently do, and they were able to fix that as well at no charge.
Total cost was $55 to have it re-cored and pressure tested as well as fixing the pipes.
Hope this helps.

I found one at the salvage yard!
The parts houses not only have them wrong for the Alltrac but looks like there wrong for all 5th Gen :twisted:
I pulled one from a 92 GT exactly the same (but with no outlet pipe damage). It had manual heat and fits perfectly(I was worried I would have to find Celica with auto temp control)!
Removing and replacing the heater core is not that bad. I didn't have to take the dash pad off.
Just remove the glove box including right dash speaker, all the stuff from the center including the ECU and air bag computer, then remove AC evap core (I didn't remove the blower motor housing), I removed the two bolts holding the gas pedal to the floor, and then the four remaining nuts and make sure the heater hoses are disconnected. Then it's a matter of carefully getting it free.
The only thing I did that might help going back in was I removed the plastic vent that goes to the defrost (one screw). I did leave it in place but I could move the heater box around a little easier. Then after the box was in place and before I tightened it down I lined up the vent and put in the screw (short phillips screwdriver).
Hope this helps, sorry no pictures (except of all mouse house that was in the heater box :wink
