heater core is leaking...

although it may/may not be related to your swap, thats my guess.

is there coolant around your passenger side floor? usually thats another sign... but yes you have heater core issues

+1 for everyone.

It probably is going to smell a little sweet in the car as well.
but yeah - what everyone else said.
Have fun taking the dash out, you can leave the dash bar in place but it makes it easier with it removed as well.
