A friend found the heater ducts of one of his cars stuffed with Macadamia 
nuts from a Neighbors tree.  He figures the mice did it.

My wife had a Nissan Altima that the snails climbed onto the exhaust 
manifold.  She complained of a smell one day and that was the source.

Her Honda CRV developed a strange noise when the heater was on high.  I took 
it apart to find a mouse nest.

I opened the hood of my pickup one time to find a snake curled up inside.

There is no way I know of to keep critters out.  There are many large 
openings for proper air flow and it is a nice warm place after a while.  I 
would think a barn cat or two would help and D-Con in the engine compartment 
would keep the damage down.
