100% wrong heater core is located in the center of the car not the passenger side.
It's pretty easy to remove. Just take off the panel under the steering wheel and the left side panel (has vent in it). use garbage bag to catch any excess coolant that didn't drain out. Core is held in with a couple of screws and slides out.
Here is the text from VADIS (couldn't copy the pics):
Heat exchanger – left-hand drive
Remove:
-the heater hoses in the engine compartment. Use special pliers 1158957
-the seal and the plate.
Remove:
-the soundproofing panel. See Soundproofing panel, replacing
-the brake lamp switch. See Stop lamp switch, replacing
Remove:
-the tie strap for the pipes
-the screws for the heat exchanger
-the mounting brackets for the pipes.
-Position plenty of paper under the heat exchanger and around the pipes
Drain the coolant into a suitable container.
-detach the pipes and position them out of the way
-pull out the heat exchanger.
