heater core replacement difficulty?

I think every 1st gen RX-7 started life as a heater core,and they build the rest of car around it. Pull the dash,and it will still be a suck job. Good luck,and take pics as you go so you remember how things go back together.

You might be correct in that they were designed around the heater core. I would say it is the one of the only service design flaw. I can say it is the one job I really do not enjoy doing on the SA/FB.
As stated - take plenty of pics if you have never done one, label and bag everything. Also just take your time. Do not rush it.
