Drip, drip, drip...

I just got the dealer AC system installed and working in my truck. It'll freeze ya out if you're not carefull. Anyway, the evaporator is located inside the under dash unit, which is in the cab. When the unit is on and working, this condenses water. This water then proceeds to drip out of the unit. Sometimes it's a constant stream. I was wondering if there is a way that I can route this water out of the cab, and avoid rusting the floorboards, and soaking the feet of any passengers I happen to be carrying.

There should be some kind of gravity drain hose for the condensation on the unit.

I had the unit completely apart to clean out the mouse nests before I installed it, and I saw no drain hose anywhere. There wasn't even one on the truck I took it off of. Any idea where this would have been mounted, so I can run a new one?

Hmmm, here's a scan of the factory unit. The drain tube is pointed out.

Thanks. I hope I dont have to go through the cab mount to do it, though.
