Question Blocked AC drain

I have a 98 F150 5.4 with a blocked AC drain. Smoke out of vents, foul odor and little or no water coming from under the truck when AC is on.
Where do I find the tube and what is the best way to clear the blockage.

Thanks
Dan

Blocked ac drain is pretty rare though. Your symtoms are very similar to a leaking heater core too. You wont have much drainage if the humidity and temps are pretty low.
