[SEL] Very OT but need help

[Curt]

Curt,
On most cars the A/C difusion grates snap in/out. What is the chance you 
could snap these out, remove the blower motor, and use your leaf blower, 
alternating between blowing in the A/C vents and the blower motor 
opening to hopefully blow the critters out.
Perhaps a good scrubbing of the ducts with PineSol using rags on a 
plumbers snake might clean it all out. Modern A/C systems are reasonably 
watertight today and have a built in drain system to remove condensate. 
Might work. My 2 cents worth.....
