a leaf shouldnt ruin anything... its a leaf. it will, in fact, just annoy the hell out of you. get to your blower motor and pull it out...

Default Leaf in the blower

You may be able to get at the leaf via the recirculating air duct. I'm not familiar with your year Blazer's ducts but years ago I was able to extract a mimosa seed pod from my '66 Impala squirrel cage via that recirc. duct after removing the kick panel grill. Alternatively, you might get at it by removing the plastic grill cover in front of the windshield. One of those flexible pincher/grabbers might help reach through small openings.
In the Blazer, access to the blower motor normally requires cutting or opening the evaporator housing. That's a really big job.
Really wish you luck, I remember what a PITA that noise was. Especially the wife's complaints about it.
