Default Wet Passenger Side Floorboard! A/C issue

Well it seems after my header/motor mount/intake install my car, my car has been leaking condensed water onto my passenger side floor and quite a lot of water at times. I imagine that while the car was at that extreme angle something clogged the A/C drain line. I've searched and searched (the forum and my car ) but I still cant find this so called "weephole". I want to nip this now before I have to deal with a soggy moldy carpet issue. How do I unclog this bastard? Compressed air? Ream it with a coat hanger? Can anyone post a (good, all the ones i've seen suck) picture of where this weephole is?

Thanks in advance!

Sure its not radiator fluid? I've seen heater cores go bad on two f bodies, which leave a puddle of wetness on the passenger side foot area.

Nope I know it's water, It doesn't smell or resemble coolant at all. It only leaks when I have the A/C on. Doesn't seem to be as big of an issue here in AZ but in MN where it was way humid it would leak like a SOB!

Anyone got a pic of the weephole?

It should be a small tube sticking down from the A/C box, just run a coat hanger up in it.
