Our electric dryer isn't drying as quick as it had in the past, but
eventually it does dry. Once in the past a repairman came out and cleaned
out the exhaust line and it began drying much better. Therefore I went
outside while it was running and from the amount of air, it appears that the
air is unimpeded. What could be the problem? Should I try to look inside
the dryer for more clues? Are dryers simple to get into?

Any electric dryer I've worked on has been trivial.

Top comes up either by a couple of spring clips or 3-4 screws on the
bottom edge at the front. That reveals the front which has 3-4 screws
on either side to allow it to be set aside. Then the drum just slides
out frontwards giving access to the heating coils. About a 10-minute
job if done it before, maybe 30 if not.

If cleaning lint trap and checking for other obstructions doesn't solve
the problem, in all likelihood one or the two (or maybe three, altho
I've never had one w/ more than two) elements is broken. Replacing them
is also nothing more than threading a coiled piece of wire through a
bunch of round insulators and stretching it evenly so as to not leave a
hot spot.
