I don't know where you saw that info, but dump it. Check the following link for a start:

you definately don't have to take the passenger seat out. Second you have to take the dash apart and the top center console apart enough to pull it back so you can pull the dash back enough to get at the heater core cover and then the heater core. I did mine not to long ago and think if I ever have to do it again I'll just take it somewhere.
