How to pull the heater HOUSING

[Manning G]

Hi,
I've pulled the old Suburban heater out of my 71 Ambassador. I'm going to heat with a Wave 8 instead. When you pull the heater it leaves a housing which doubles as the beginning of the plenum. I want to get that out and recover a large storage area, but it will not come out. I cannot see any rivets or bolts holding it. It will wiggle maybe 1/8 to 1/4 inch but will not budge further.
Please tell me that it is not attached to the AS through a welded bolt on the bottom of the housing!
There is a lot of info on getting the heater itself out. I found good info and did not have much trouble with that. Now I cannot get the housing out.

There may be a couple of screws into the floor. Other than that, it's usually just a really tight fit. You may need to fold up the furnace housing to get it out from inside the cabinet.

Thanks, I'm trying. It's pretty stout to "fold" but nothing an obsessive/compulsive can't handle.
If there are screws, the screw heads are not visible, that's why I was imagining bolts that are part of the housing.
I'll stare at it some more tomorrow, maybe I'll intimidate it into submission.
