Default Cleaning evaporator core?

My AC isnt blowing quite as cold as it should be and my vents dont seem to blow as much air as they should (have replaced the blower motor).

I'm thinking my evaporator may be plugged up with dust and possibly crap from having mice in the car.

Is there any way to visually inspect the evaporator and maybe blow it out with air without pulling the whole dash?

Before you do that, make sure the evap drain isn't plugged. Also, make sure you aren't splitting the airflow with other vents...you may have a vacuum leak rather than a plugged evap.
