Blower motor help--71 ranchero

[Fairmont]

Hello everyone,
I have a 1971 Ranchero with a blower motor problem. I do have water running through the core as I can feel warm air when driving. I have been looking under the hood and the dash for the blower motor but I can't seem to locate it.

I have only had the Rancho for about a month so I am still not that familiar with where things are and if they are accessible without removing the dash or everything under the dash.

I would like to access the motor first to see if it will work, if yes then I know that it is the switch or somewhere in between. If the motor is not accessible then I will have to start with the switch and work toward the motor and prey a lot that it works so I don't have to remove a lot of stuff to get to it.

Can anyone give me the general vicinity as to where the motor is located and what I might be facing to get to it?

Thank you all in advance for whatever advice you can give!
