How many bolts hold the heater box on?

I was looking into maybe taking off the heater/ac box off the firewall and I'm trying to find all the bolts...I found 4 on top accessible from the engine compartment and 3 on the inside that hold the bottom. With those out, it won't budge. How many are there? Thanks!

Seems like there's always one more...

Seriously, I honestly don't recall for sure. I think you've got them all, though, and you may just be up against that goo that they use to seal the whole thing.

Look around carefully and count all the little "bulges" you see around the edges. That's where screws go in, and you need to remove at least the same number of screws as you see bulges.

Thanks Five7kid, I didn't know the goo could be so tough! I'll check again for forgotten bolts and try again.
