Why they put holes in the mixer door is anyone's guess. You also might try closing off all vents, opening one at a time, hooking up a vacuum hose, and turning the fan on high. Won?t solve your heat problem, but helps get rid of some of the loose foam.

At least your in FL!

the reason for the hols is (my guess) to reduce the wight of the flap.
best way to clean the flakes, is to remove the AC air ducts on the driver side, and vacuum the air box.
best results if you remove the heater core as well (not to big of a project) and clean the box on that side as well.
however, the heater will be effective again only after reforming the flaps.
i'm on the fence right now if to repeat that project on my 996. with the Boxster it was a no brainier as the evaporator was leaking, and the AC didn't work.
not sure if i want to go thru all that trouble just to fix the heater for the 2 weeks of cold weather we have each year.
