Default Dead mouse? 1986 Vert

I've been trapping mice for several months in my garage but I think one finally got into my Vert and died. The smell is really bad. Any ideas of where it might be? I assume somewhere in the vents? Anybody had this problem?

If it's in the cabin then I'd start with removing the hush panels and breadbox 1st then if you still can't see the nest, remove the dash pad. Good luck!

Default Found it!

Took the bezel off the dash and found an entire box of Kleenex in the main airvent along with a dead baby mouse. I took a "grabber" tool and pulled out Kleenex for over an hour. But I think some of it got into the blower as it started making noise when I turned it on and now it won't come on at all. I tried taking the cover off the blower motor but can't get to two of the bolts. I give up...off to the shop for someone more experienced than me.
