That is surely the heater core. It has happened to most of us I'm sure! It is a relatively easy job. That only hard part is the screws in the back that hold the core in place. When you get it out, don't have it rebuild unless you are going for all original equipment, it is cheaper to just get a new one.

just unhook the two hoses that go to the heater core at the firewall, use a sump or something to suck the coolant that's left out of the core, and then connect the two hoses together. You won't ever have heat again, but at least you won't ever have to **** with the heater core
