Thanks

I had the same issue. What I did is get some .030" safety wire (just a spool of .030" thick wire) and ran it down the drain line from the condenser. You have to pull the lower console panel out from under the glove box and also pull the glove box door.

You should be able to clear it from the outside by sticking something like a pipe cleaner into the drain hole. Did you find the drain? Here's a pic on a LT1 car, ours is similar: http://shbox.com/1/a_c_drain.jpg
