Biohazard
Thanks again, sir. I hope your prophecy pans out!
I was pretty excited when I figured out how to remove the HVAC blower from the housing. The deeper I can get in disassembly, the better I feel about just how 'clean' the car really is. This is the mounting ring and rubber seal that goes around the fan motor and bolts it to the housing. It has been separated, cleaned, and is sitting out to dry.
Submerged the evaporator in a solution of Borax along with the drip pan and the mesh screen that shields the evaporator.
Ultimately, this didn't really do anything for these parts. I can still smell that they are contaminated so I went back to Lowe's and cleared the shelf of all their ammonia. I will re-soak all of the HVAC internals with the ammonia as I have very high confidence in that technique.
I also pushed a can of flush through the evaporator and followed up with half a can of acetone. When I take the core to the A/C shop to pressure test it, I'll also have them connect some shop air to really clear it out.
