Help! How to replace cabin air filter.

Hey, I just got a 95 prelude and I was just wondering how to replace the cabin air filter. The reason why is because when I turn on the air conditioning, it smells like some animal just crawlled up and died in the vents. Or what do you think the problem is. Please help me out!! Thanks.

Air conditioning does that when you first turn it on.

it shouldn't if its working right...
there is no cabin air filter to replace.. the a/c fan just pulls air from eirther the passanger floor area is on recycle mode or outside by the wipers if on fresh air mode.. if it smells in both modes, then you've got some crap stuck in the evaporater and it would require alot of work to clean it out, as well as releasing the freon in the a/c system and recharging it

in the UK you can by an aerosol that contains anti-fungal/bacteria and air fresheners which you just turn on and leave in the car for 10 mins with the air con running - (looks like a Bug Bomb that you guys get over the pond!) worked great for me.
