Default Plugged muffler

I can't belive it..got my vette to start and run after sitting 20 years...I'm shocked it didn't need injectors..the fuel system was gunk.

I noticed no exhaust coming out of the passenger side muffler. Driverside is fine. I really dont want to drop the oem exhaust. Thinking of plugging the driverside and reving it to hopefully blow out the mouse nests? Bad idea? Any better ways to clear it out?

It should work. Worse it can do is kill the engine. I doubt it's clogged that bad.
