Default A/C drain question

Does anyone have a picture of where the a/c drain is on a 2000 ? I noticed that there is no water on the ground when the a/c was on so i want to check the drain and make sure its not clogged. My other car ('06 Impala) always has some water when the a/c was on but not my T/A..

Thanks

There is no ac drain on any car...the water is from condensation that builds up on the lines when the system is run

You obviously have no idea what you are talking about. EVERY car with A/C has a drain from the bottom of the HVAC case. Condensation forms on the evaporator and drips down to the bottom of the case. If there was no drain it would backup into the case and onto the floor board. Same thing happens if its plugged.

Typically its on the passenger side of the firewall.
