Question Best way to approach removing heater core tubing?

I have a 95 Pontiac Grand am and its dumping coolant onto the ground and idling rough as it should be. The Cooling system pressurized and sends a guiser of coolant out what looks to be a plastic fitting.

The only issue I'm having is the tubing is very deep in the engine bay and was curious if anyone had any good recommendations for tackling the replacement of the tubing. Whether it be from under the car or over the car and what I'd need to remove to get good access.

Check the firewall for coolant.

So we'll probably need some more information . . . like where is the plastic fitting and tube is that you're talking about. Maybe some pictures if needed.
