Where the bodies are buried...
So I recently got my first third gen f-body, a 1989 Trans Am. The engine bay has a ton of acorn shells in it so I'm assuming that there are likely mouse and rat corpses throughout the car. Anywhere in particular they tend to congregate so I can be proactive in clearing them out?

Front seats and the rear lockbox and spare tire well are common places too.

Keep your fingers crossed and hope they didn't get inside

Re: Where the bodies are buried...
I had a major infestation one year, when I used poison pellets for kill bait. The mice were stashing the pellets inside the car and then died in there. I found them in the heater ducts on passenger side, under the rear seats and when I removed the center console, they were wedged between the carpet and the plastic. It was a real mess, but I got it cleaned up. After steam cleaning everything I used this activated charcoal pet neutralizer spray. It did a good job of getting rid of the smell. Total casualty count was 9.

I found a nest in the blower fan assembly when I was replacing the heater core and dash panel
Thankfully no mice were found.

I pulled a car (third gen)out of an abandoned garage once, had to sit inside and steer while a friend pushed from behind. When we got it out in the day light we found snake skin in the rear cargo area. I would have stained that driver seat if a snake would have crawled out while i was steering.
