You can pull the front carpet and then flush it with water and let it dry. You can bypass the heater core for the inspection. I doubt a working heater is part of any inspection.

Is it spraying hot coolant on your right foot? If yes, then it's not the core, but the proportioning valve. The valve is attached to the left side of the core, and can be replaced (with some difficulty) without pulling the dash. I bypassed my heater entirely, though.
