I know Fairlanes have a huge problem with the cowl rusting out because of stuff getting caught in it, and mine has a bunch of leaves and pine needs from a decade sitting under a tree.
Has anyone figured out a technique for cleaning these out? I can't just take the vent off because it's attached to the roof, and there doesn't appear to be any way into it from under the hood.

I solved the problem myself, and for anyone that needs to do this in the future:
Take the grates off of the under-dash vents, open them up, and reach up as far as you can. If you have skinny hands and arms, you should be able to get most of the stuff out by hand. Compressed air takes care of the rest.
