Default blower motor

I have the correct orig. blower motor and fan assembly for my car. I recently tested it and it seems to work fine. There is some slight corrosion on the fan vanes. I do not want to remove the fan, is there something I can soak it in that will clean it up without wrecking it? Also there are some small dents in the back of the motor, probably from some jackass hitting it with a hammer because they thought it was stuck. They do are not affecting the performance, but I don't like the look. I have no idea if this can be fixed or not. BTW the car has AC which works fine. The original valves have been removed and preplaced with the pipe and electrical compressor switch. I am pulling all that out and going back to the STV valve and would like to reinstall the blower if I can fix it or get it fixed. Any thoughts?

You can get a replacement blower motor at almost any parts store. You ca wore brush the corrosion and give the rotor a light coat of rust stoping paint.

If you aren't going to have the car judged, I'd leave in the STV bypass pipe and pressure switch. ST valves are difficult to repair and hard to find.
