The evaporator core's drain tube 
http://www.thebenzbin.com/air_conditioning_drain.html suggests unclogging it using compressed air or a screwdriver.

I think the best thing to do would be to jack up the car, crawl under there and look for the water drain stains to locate the drain hole. Then stick a wire hanger up in there and gently poke around. Don't jam it in there or you could damage the evap core, but that's the easiest way I can think of unless you want to pull the dash out.
You might try blowing compressed air up the drain, instead of a wire hanger.
