A/C drain
Hi Guys,
down here in the southern Hemisphere, we are suffering through 100+ degree days
I know you guys are going through some cold weather, but hopefully you can recall how your A/C works
1978 L82 Pace Car.
When driving with the A/C on for a while, I stopped and looked underneath the car and noticed water (obviously condensed from the air) running out of the plastic molding near the passenger front wheel.
What concerned me was it was coming out between the join of the "box" and not out a drain pipe/tube.
I couldn't immediately see where or if it had a drain pipe/tube...
Can someone please point me in the direction of how the condensed water is supposed to drain away from the car?
Thanks

You should see a drain under the evaporator core in the engine compartment.

from under the car look up to where the heater hoses come out of the heater box. There should be a third hose or nipple hanging down, that is the AC condensate tube. Sometimes those tubes get plugged up or maybe the water is coming out but just running along the frame before it falls to the ground.
