There is a spray made for A/C, a bit tuffer than Lysol.
Hard to say whether the OP needs to rotorooter their A/C from just the
description, depends where the cruft is located. Might be able to just
flush it out if there is a good bottom drain added.

Actually Lysol works as well or better and can be used for other
things if you don't use the entire can. I think it's less
expensive, too, but I haven't looked at prices lately....

Probably, I sure wouldn't recommend taking it apart until everything
else has failed...

Let me make sure I have this straight before I go and try this:
I can remove the cowl, stick a hose in the air intake, and flush the
crap out of the drain at the bottom down below and to the right of the
battery box? I thought for sure this would result in water getting
flushed into the passenger side interior, or runi something electrical,
or...
Anyway, can I do this? Failing that approach, I guess I'll have to dive
in there. At least I've got some instructions on how to remove the
heater box now...
Thanks everyone!

You have stuff all the way inside or you would not have had smoke from
the resistor pack trying to burn your Jeep up.
You were extremely lucky!
That underhood drain is for the intake box. The intake for the insides
just picks up a bit off the bottom of this box so water doesn't get
inside. Putting a hose down there 'will' flood out your insides more
than likely.
Putting a hose on the top of the grill will rinse out the box without
flooding 'if' you can keep the drain running clear.
