I have the same problem and I'm in the process of fixing it. Went to a wrecking yard and got a whole heater assembly, paid $22. Will be replacing it in the next couple of days.

I'm pretty sure that you can just bypass the heater core by linking the inlet hose and outlet hose to and from the heater core at the firewall together and would be no problems. The heater core is only there for the heater but if you can live without the heater just do that.
