Question Cowl and kick panel vent cleaning.

I bought this 72 and need to start cleaning (as soon as I break into it. The first missing part is the door key.)
I couldn't find any threads on how to get the leaves, pine needles, and other debris out of the cowl vents. Any information would be appreciated.

Vacuum cleaner with a long attachment of rubber hose that you can work into the corners. It'll block up constantly, just remove gunk and put it back down.

At the back of the rocker near the rear wheel well on the inside near the floor pan is a rubber flap. This is the exit for the fisher body flush and dry system. You can put a high pressure air hose in there on each side and a blow lot of crap up through the air horns that your shop vac can grab up top at the cowl. If the car has AC you need to remove the fresh air intake on pass side of cowl to really get cleaning. If bottom of air horn is rusted through you can pressure the cowl from there and high pressure clean the rockers too
