Which Blower Motor for Dual-Zone?

Diagram on GMPartsHouse.com

Since there are two motors to choose from, I would presume that the more expensive Auto Control blower motor would be the correct choice for use on a car with Dual Zone A/C ?

Right now, the existing unit gets out of balance over the 3rd or 4th fan setting and vibrates like mad.

Has anyone had experience where this is a fixable event without replacement?

Removed the dead mouse from mine and it ran smooth as silk.

Now I'm curious! The car has sat for a few years. Time to find out.

So you were going to order another blower motor, without inspecting the one you have first??

Where do rodents and such enter at? I assume somewhere in the engine bay and I know there is an intake at the windshield cowl but I don't see how they could get in from there.
