... seriously, I was able to claen out most of them from my '74 by closing the interior vents and fabricating a cardboard 'cover' which I taped to the cowl vent. I then cut a hole the size of my shopvac hose in the "cover seal" and attached the hose with some more tape.Hit the switch on the shopvac and Voila! Cleaned out most of them, and I was able to water flush the rest out the cowl drains. You could also remove the fenders to get at those drains, depends on your desire I guess.I haven't had any problems since (then again I've cut down those pine trees too!) ;-)
