Like I thought....critters
It was plugged solid with crap that rodents dragged in. This also explains the "earthy" smell from the HVAC system.
I used a shop vac to get most of it out, and picked the rest of it out with a grabber tool I had (one of those things that has a retractable claw for grabbing stuff you can't reach).
Air flow is what I think it should be now. And it smells better.
When I pulled the blower control module out, it looked like this. I knew I had some work to do.
I bet there's lots more in there, but I got enough out to get the air flow moving again.
