I usually just blast it through with a jet hose as there are drain holes at each end of it.
(probably not the right way to go about it but ah well
)

I have an old but very powerful "garage" vacuum cleaner - I tape a length of fuel tube of the correct diameter (a size that goes through the vent sections) to the suction nozzle being careful to cover up any air leaks. A bit time consuming as one bit of leaf etc will block the pipe but it will remove all the bits eventually.
The best mod I ever did was to bore a hole in the heater matrix cover to allow a vacuum nozzle to be inserted - the crud was amazing and its improved the heater efficiency no end.

Back in the day when i had a heater i removed the recirc flap from inside the heater box so anything that fell through went onto the floor not all over the heater matrix.
