Thanks again. Worked fine. Unfortunately I found a TON of stuff in there
- both in the area of the blower, and in the base of the evaporator -
which I pried open to see inside. Looks like whatever creature bedded
down was quite comfy. They were also nice enough to leave plenty of
droppings.

Good news is, the blockage is gone. Bad news is that the air smells
horrible. Guess I'm looking to replace the evaporator at a minimum and
hope that clears the air.
