After following this post I got up and cleaned both AC's and inside filters... A few dust bunnies and spyder webs but no real dirt. Did a good job cleaning the covers though!
One thing about the Carrier that is fairly unique- the condensation is piped out to the condenser, where a "slinger ring" fan picks the water up and throws it on the coils. In very humid areas, it can grow a sold block of slime- in moderate climates, the moisture makes the fins trap dirt pretty well. To clean, or even see this, you must take the thing apart quite a bit on the roof (shroud and shroud around condenser).
While all air conditioners should be cleaned regularly, the standard height Carrier is particularly bad because of the condensate.
