The dexcool in my 96 had a habit of clogging in the core. I just shot water from a hose through it and it cleared it out.
Make sure that the selector switch moves the flap in the heater box

Heater core sounds like its clogged. Like Tim said, run some hose water through it in both directions.

Make sure the coolant level is where it's supposed to be, it is a 60 degree V6...

it is green. see if you can't feel the heater hoses. if one is real hot and the other is colder, its clogged. revving the car should force coolant through and give you some heat. you should hear the blend door moving if you switch from the cold to hot side or hot to cold.

well the car had very little if any coolant in it. i started it up and it looks like the coolant is leaking down onto the k member. looks to be one of the metal heater hose lines that is rusted and leaking

you should probably fix the low coolant light too.
