Take off the the exhaust/intake cap on the exterior. Remove the panel for the furnace on the exterior. Get in there with air and a vacuum and make it sparkle.
Just chalk this up to a lesson learned, some times its better to suck than to blow. I could expand on that but I think you get the idea.
If it was me, I'd look at this as an opportunity to clean and service the furnace. You should probably break the furnace out of it's location and do a thorough job of it. Most of that mud dauber nest is now probably inside the fire box and that may cause you problems.
