Take it out and spray it down with some condenser cleaner.You can get that from most any good A/C or plumbing shop.The evaporator is aluminum and will not rust but the filter/dryer will absorb moisture and need to be replaced.Probly needs one anyway!After the cleaner does it's job hose it down real good and do it 3 or 4 more times.Check the squirrel cage too for debris or panty hose or what ever it may have sucked up!

I don't think I am going to be able to clean out the evaporator. I put it all back together except the evaporator and the air blows just fine. Another question though...
Is there a product I should use to reseal the A/C lines when I put it back together?

I dunno how the heck to get the blower motor out. I removed all the visable bolts/screws but the damn thing would only move a few mm.. Any hidden bolts?
Lame!

I found that removing the evap first is the easiest. I was able to get the blower housing out after taking the bolts off for the evap and wiggling that loose a bit.
My evap core was too dirty, and I wrecked a few ribs so I am going to get a new one. Again, anyone know the right way to seal the lines back up?

Got in there. I would like to disconnect the whole unit and take it out, but I'm not in the mood to pay for an evac and recharge of the AC. I think I'm going to try a wet/dry vac and see how much gunk I can get out. I didn't have the rats nest, but the blower certainly wasn't the problem. Here are some pics:
you better replace that evaporator. see the green stuff in the pics ? that is leak dye and it means it is leaking.

Shoot---I hadn't even noticed. I ordered one from fleabay in the link in a prior post. $43 shipped....hope it's not a total POS. Anyways, I will post the question again...How do I reseal the lines on the install?

So the evaporator they sent was not the right one. The one in the picture is the right one, but they sent one with a return line that heads 45 degrees off and the fitting don't match up...here we go hopefully the seller will rectify the situation.
