I need to replace the heater core on my 1998 Volvo S70 but I'm having difficulty removing the glove box. I have removed all 6 of the Torx screws but the glove box won't come loose on the left side. An

IPD's website has a great video on the site that shows you step by step how everything comes apart and goes back together to change Heater Cores. It would be easier for you to watch that than have me explain. You have probably missed a screw somewhere.

I NEED A HEATER HOSE DIAGRAM FOR MY 98 VOLVO S70 T5 TURBO PRIOR OWNER BYPASSED THE HEATER THANK YOU JAMES CUMMINGS

You will likely need the heater hose junction (Volvo p/n 3522035) since it always leaks and it connects the heater core to the heater hoses on the firewall. The kit usually contains the retaining clips, but not the O-rings to connect to the heater core. You will also need the outlet and inlet hoses (9186847 and 9186849). The length, angles and configuration of these hoses will help you understand their orientation in the engine bay. They can only go on one way. Else, they won't connect to the pipes from the engine.

Volvo s70, 1998, heater not blowing hot air

Are you getting coolant flow through the heater core? These cars have common problems with heater cores but they are easy to replace. IPD has a Video on U-Tube with step by step instructions. Also if you are in very cold weather have you checked your anti-freeze? I saw a Toyota last year freeze completely because of no anti-freeze. It took days to thaw out the heater core and they were lucky that the ice did not blow it apart. It took me hours of starting it and running up to a low temp and shutting it down to get it drivable.

Do I need to remove the dash to remove a heater core in a 1998 Volvo S70 non turbo 5 cylinder?

Don't remember exactly , but I think it could be done without dash removal.
It's done from driver side footwell area , tight but possible.
You have to take out lower center consol side cover , next to the accelerator pedal and roll the carpet out of the way, and you will see the heater core case. Remove cover on the case (some have it on the side , some on the bottom).Two pipes going from firewall to the core have to be disconnected before core removal (will leak coolant , have some rags on the floor to absorbe it).
Slide heater core out , put new one in gently as the accelerator pedal is on your way , try to avoid damaging core a lot.
Always replace heater core pipes o-rings.

My volvo s70 is having smoke come in through the air vents and it has a funny smell

If it smells sweet it is coolant and this is a sure sign your heater core is leaking. The only fix is to replace it.

The windows fog up inside of my Volvo S70

Sure sounds like the heater core, the only other thing would be some time of leak that is raising the moisture in the car is the floor board on the passengers side wet? If not look toward the heater core.

Replace Heater Core for Volvo S70 (1999)

It is your heater core. I fixed mine for $144. Ordered the new part on Ebay and followed these instructions http://www.volvospeed.com/vs_forum/index.php?showtopic=9717 It was very simple, I'm a middle age grandmother! The hardest part was cleaning up all the antifreeze. You will need a shopvac, a small one is $20 at WalMart.

Double check to ensure that your repair plan is not limited to to heater core, normally it is recommended to change the thermostat on at the same time.... it is a $30 part which often solves much grief in diagnosing other 'coolant' related issues.
Don't forget to bleed the system after changing the heater core and/or thermostat. A common misconception is that the overflow cap can bleed the system... for safety sake, use the old fashion way of bleeding it over a one hour period and adding 50:50 antifreeze when the overflow demands it. Hope it helps.
