Default AC Drain Tube Clogged

Anyone have experience with getting these unplugged? I found a lot of starter threads on this subject but never found one where the original poster came back and said I fixed it and this is how I got it done....

Anyone have any pictures of where I can find the tube in the car. Sounds like it might be accessible by removing the driver's side panel according to one post, another posts says it slightly towards the passenger's side from center. Another post says the center console has to come off to get to it. I just had my console out for three weeks while doing some vacuum actuator repairs (see picture) and am not all that excited about now having to tear it all down again.

I have an x-pipe with cats deleted so I might be able to get to the drain tube from underneath but I don't have a lift so that I can take off the skid plate and have a look. If someone were pretty sure that the job can be accomplished from underneath since the cats are out then I'll probably just wait until the next time the car needs to be on a lift.

Anyone know exactly where the drain tube starts? I have a picture from when I had my center console off--would it attach to the black box that I drew a purple square around? I don't see anything in the picture--would it come off the front side of it?

This might help...

There was a photo recently that shows the drain tube - the drive train and exhaust had been removed. Don't know where that photo is.

Thanks Wally. I hadn't found that thread. Seems like Roger has a system although it's not entirely clear to me from his post exactly what it is. I'll PM him.
