DIY Glycol chiller question

Hello,
I have completed assembly of a DIY glycol chiller made with a widow A/C unit and a cooler. My question is in regards to cleaning condensor coil. It is a used unit and has some dust and stuff in the coils. Just curious what methods people have used to get them clean before adding glycol to the reservoir.
Thanks.

I used compressed air and a shop vac. On another note, I found using an aquarium pump to circulate the fluid around/over the coils prevents the coils from freezing up, the supply and return to the cooling coil wasn't enough.
