Dash, under the evaporator. If you remove the passenger side center console lining, all the way in the rear. Might just get a hand to it. It exits above the TT (a bit on the right side I think).

It empties above the cats under the car, or above the trans torque tube, sorry.
Mine always has a habbit of dripping on my feet when I turn to the right.
I tried cleaning the tubes and wound up putting a sponge under the vent by my foot.

The black tube hanging down from the transmission tunnel roof, just behind the firewall.

Just got my AC refreshed after all these years. I now fully expect to have wet (new) carpet on our initial trip with AC.
Any realistic way to clean out the drain hose?

We’ll, wait on that… I just saw Roger’s advise about extracting the hose to clean it:

It's mentioned briefly in >>> this post <<<.
Not the easiest to get at from the inside but here are a few shots of it on an '86.5:

Thanks! That gives real perspective.
fortunately, when checking later,I did notice a tell-tale small water puddle underneath the are the hose should drain from.
