If there is any freon in it, take it to a shop to have it sucked out. After that, it's just a matter of unbolting the evap lines on the firewall side. Then remove the glovebox. There is a plastic cover over the evaporator, remove that. Then just wiggle and pull on the evaporator to free it.

I used compressed air and a plastic brush to clean mine. Made a huge difference. Most modern cars have cabin air filters that prevent this from happening.
Please see my last post above .
