If you want to do it yourself get a Haynes workshop manual and read it carefully and make sure you are confident you can do it.
If not take it to a garage they will charge about a one hours labour per spring + the cost of the springs.

how do i change a freeze plug on a 96 s-10 blazer?

Cheaper to replace the car, they are crap

new years friend puked in my car?

no its all quite straight forward.

to."know it all"?

nah not at all; in the boot undoo both of the top nuts and bolts (17mm) that goes through the top of shock absorber but not the mounting bolts. Yon will have to raise the car body off the ground about 2ft and support it securley DONT JACK IT UP ON THE REAR AXLE. once the wheels are free of the ground unscrew the lower bolts and remove the shocks complete with the springs. then slide off the old springs and slide on the new springs. and put the shocks back on the same way as you took them off.
shoud take about an hour

my car keeps going dead and flat then i leave it about 3 mins and it starts no prob like it has never happened

Heater.............?

not really but you may need a coil spring compresser but if theres 2 people you could manage without as theres not much tension

The ventilation system in my car is broken?

Depends what year it was made. The early ones can be changed without spring compressors just by pushing down and removing the top bolt once the damper has been removed from the car. The newer ones were a bit trickier as the have a small circlip which is difficult to remove.
