Cart module to left column - Opencart 1.5

I'm trying to move the cart from header to left_column but don't seem to find the cart module from admin. Is the cart module removed from 1.5 or am I missing something?

Do I need to hack the core to get it there?

Thanks!

There is a free extension to do this for 1.5.x

Thanks!

I find it weird that header and footer stuff is hard-coded..
Here's a link to that extension: http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route ... on_id=2184
