I didn't see an answer in a search - the foam on the majority of the flaps/vent doors (such as 109130) in my car has disintegrated. Anyone have any recommendations on what to replace this with?

Sure!

The materials I used were:

http://www.homedepot.com/p/Armacell-2-in-x-30-ft-R-1-Foam-Insulation-Tape-TAP18230/100539553#.Ulc7RFM0Bp4 for replacing the foam on the various vacuum-actuated flaps
http://www.homedepot.com/p/Frost-King-E-O-12-in-x-15-ft-Self-Stick-Foam-Foil-Duct-Insulation-FV516/100028603#.Ulc8JFM0Bp4 - for adhering to the outside of the AC unit box.
3M Strip Calk (yes it's spelled that way); available at NAPA auto parts/Amazon, for sealing the AC unit box seams.
Frost King 1-1/2" wide x 1/2" self-stick foam - for adding foam around the evaporator.
