The main thing to do is to clear out the 2 water drain hoses. These can be 
pulled down without removing anything else, and it is very important to keep 
these hoses clear to prevent water from dripping on the floor and causing rust.

On your 71 the left hose is just a short piece, between the bottom of the 
black plastic airbox and the firewall. The right hose is long and quite obvious.

If you want to clean out more than this you can use long tweezers or 
chopsticks thru the louvers from above, or you will have to take out the 
airbox, which means taking out the radio and the air controls.
