I think it was running after that day I didn't see a leak any more after all the times my face has been on the passenger side of that engine.

If you saw the water pump leaking, you will need to replace it. It will not heal itself or get better.
I used the search feature at the top of the page under key words "heater core" and found this:

You really have to have a cable clamp tool or you'll spend all day on those &$#*( clamps.

As for needing to remove center console and dropping dash to repair - Not necessary.
I have 95 SSEi and just did the core - forget the GM manual for help. It is tight to change the heater core but only need to remove HVAC controller, Air Mix Motor and Cover for core and two hose clamps from engine compartment side. Pull rug and padding back for some clearance......
Hope this helps.

This one is a Mayhew - costs about $65 from the Mac tool man.
