Default AC Condensation help

The AC condensation is draining into the passenger side floor. I dont think its the heater core, because it isnt coolant, its just water (condensation). Any ideas? I had an inch of standing water in it yesterday. Its a 98Z. Thanks

The evaporator drain tube is probably clogged up... I believe it's located on the fire wall around the evap case.

I agree, a lot of times you can blow compressed air up the drain tube and clear the restriction, just be sure to be at least arms length away when you do this or you will get soaked with the gallon of water that flows out

definetly the drain is clogged, go to a local shop or anyone you know with a lift and air compressor and blow some air up ther and it will free up the drain and watch yourself becuase the water will fall.

Wow this is an old thread. Here's what the drain looks like on an LT1, ours is similar - gently probe the drain from the outsde with something like a pipe cleaner. http://shbox.com/1/a_c_drain.jpg
