A/C drain line- where is it?
I looked under the car by right cat as instructed and cannot find the drain line. I turned car on for 15 minutes with ac on and I did not see any h20 coming out of anywhere. I do see several rubber grommets in the frame, but I do not think that is it. Can someone give me additional help. I have water spitting from the front console.

Dude, it might be the drain holes around the AC fan, that is what was wrong with mine and I had H2O coming out of the vents.
Take the rain tray out, look at the bottom of the area under the tray, towards middle left if your facing the car. There is a drain hole rubber grommet there that gets filled with crap and does not allow water to drain, hence collecting in the blower motor or somewhere around there. Theremay be one more in the tray area as well, I can't really remember.

AC drain has to be different then rain drain.
I have cleaned out the rain drain in the past. I would think that the drain for the ac is different.
Is this part of the same system?
Does anyone here know for sure?

If you know where the plenum drain is, then go over to passenger side about....
18 inches and you will see a t-fittin with two hoses connect to it and a drain that goes out the bottom of the plenum. It drains out near the area of the passenger side cat. I just replaced my heater fan today so I am sure about it. I hope this helps.

What is the plenum drain?
Pop Hood.
Take off plastic cover that extends across engine bay by firewall.
All my drains in this area have been cleared out.
Is this where I look for the T connection you are describing? What size is the tubing?
TIA
So is this safe to say that I do not need to get under the car? I cannot find a drain down there. I had my clutch replaced last spring in which the exhaust system was removed. I wonder if somehow they messed up the drain tube.

Same as your rain drain as you call it.
The AC drain is really easy to find. Pull the plastic cover off over the plenum and look right in between the AC evaporator chest and the firewall, there is a t-fitting that connects 8mm id hose between the Heater chest and the AC evaporator housing, these are the drains. They T together and come out the bottom of the plenum. Plenum: the area between the engine bay and passenger compartment that houses the AC/heater boxes.
