Default ac lines clogged

lately, whenever i use my ac which is hardly ever, i've been getting water in my passenger side floorboard. it's straight water with no coolant so it's not my heater core. a guy from work said that my ac condensation drain lines were clogged and it was overflowing. how do i get to these lines and is it just a matter of taking them off and blowing air through them? thanks.

It's not a hose, it's just a hole.

This is for a 95, but the 98-02 should be similar
