Default Help with my 96

Hey guys, I have a 96 that i love. it's needing alot of work and I was hoping someone here could help me out. First, the air and heat stopped blowing. I don't know if the whole air system is down, but it still puts out heat. I just doesn't blow. I'm thinking it's the blower motor, but I can't figure out where it is or how to change it.
Second, it goes though coolant FAST! I can't figure it out. I don't notice it leaking anywhere, but I can fill it up one day and in two days or less it's gone. Strangely It's not overheating at all, even when out of the stuff, but I'm afraid it's gonna start. And I spend WAY to much filling it up 3+ times a week.

Does anyone know anything that could possibly help me?
Thanks.

Not blowing? Either blower motor or check the vacuum ball inside the driver's side fender/bumper (behind the wheel well)

Losing coolant? Not leaking? You've got an intake manifold gasket or head gasket leak, and I would suggest you stop driving the car. Figure out your problem before you drive it. Remember, oil and coolant don't mix well.

For the coolant problem, check your oil asap, as that's probably where all your coolant has gone

It's not going to the oil tank and the head gasket is fine. But I can't find the leak anywhere else.

Take off your oil cap. If it's milky, you got an intake gasket problem. Look at your hood, right above the serpentine belt. If it's wet, it could be the water pump.
