I know it's a ton of work to pull it, but I was also pretty underwhelmed by the air speeds I was getting out of the vents, so even though I cleaned the coil with foaming cleaner, I might as well pull it to clean at the very least.
Once the evaporator is out, pressurize it with compressed air, place condenser under water to test for leaks. I'd bet that's what the radiator shop would do.
