The blower motor was there temporarily.

There was a lot off debris to be removed before the film went down, so for that, the blower motor exhausted the dust and also drew in fresh air.

Then we kept the blower motor during the phase where the edges of the styrofoam were sealed with foam-in-a-can. My son was doing that part, and he was concerned about breathing any fumes.

Now, the job is done and the blower is removed.

Yeah, as to crawl space doors, I need to do that, also. The entrance to my crawlspace is through my unheated basement. The opening was originally intended as a basement window (the kitchen is an addition). My plan is to make a frame around that opening, seal it with foam-in-a-can, and making an insulated-sandwich door. I will probably make the door removable, rather than hinged, since it is used so seldom. A removable door will allow a larger aperture for entering.

Best,
