Buy a GM unit if you can and the tip is to open the wheel well up and hold it open with a 2x4.
You should probably check to see if you are getting power to it before changing the motor out.
The squirrel cage is a different depth on cars with A/C so make sure you get the right one if you're buying an assembly (motor & fan).
I think I used the Four-Seasons unit from Rock Auto and have had no issues with it.
They sell GM units too.

FWIW, on many GMs of that era, the AC heater motor will fit on non AC cars and has more “blow”. You can wrap tape around the motor to cover the vent hole.
I don't believe you will find a rubber cooling tube or hole on a non-A/C motor. That cooling hose is for cooling in the Summer when the A/C is running to prevent the motor overheating in hot weather. A non-A/C system won't be used in hot weather so cooling isn't an issue.

I believe you’re right on that but the ac motors commonly do have that hole. But as they generally have more power than non ac motors we commonly replaced the non ac motors with ac motors on GMs as they usually fit. Just wrap tape around the motor to cover that vent relief hole.
I have a working blower and squirrel cage from a 71 Z non A/C car I may not be using...
Let me know if you decide to go that route and I will see if the kid will part with it.
