heater core firewall question

[increasinglyhumbled]

I had just completed replacing the water pump in my 88 bronco ii and was feelin pretty proud of myself, until I turned it on and a leak in the hose running into the heater core firewall was spraying all over. I figured it was no big deal and bought a replacement hose. The clamp near the firewall was stripped, so I was pulling on it harder than I should have and pulled the copper pipe running through the firewall completely out. Does that connect directly to the heater core? Should I even mess with the heater core, or can I reconnect this copper pipe by taking off the dash?

Any diagrams would be helpful.

I knew that, I was gonna give you another hour to figure it out for yourself.

Heater core was probably about to blow anyway if you were able to pull the pipe off it.

increasingly humbled. this shit box should teach me a lot. next project is replacing the heater fan motor...unless something of a higher priority goes out.
