I usually unclog them using a puff of compressed air. The crud that plugs them is pretty soft and generally is quite easy to blow out. It may plug up again a time or two until the crud works itself out but usually once the drain is finally clear it will stay open for quite a while.

Why does my air conditioner leak water on passager side floor

The Evaporator box has a Drain tube, this is blocked and not letting the water drain off ,hence the build up of water in the box which will overflow into the passengers side .
The drain tube needs to be unblocked to let the water drain off.

Water leaking into 2002 monte carlo floor. where are the drain holes in the rocker panel?

there are none. you either have a bad heater core or your air conditioner drain hose is clogged. It should be draining above the shock on the passenger front side.

If it is just water start with the AC, if it has coolant in it then its the heater core.

Where do I find the air conditioner drain tube

The air conditioner condensation drain is under the hood not inside the car. The fluid is probably a leaking heater coil. It is located on the passenger side firewall.

Water is not draining properly from the air conditioner condenser

did you find where the drain out put is in the air conditioning assembly box located on the firewall. It should be a clear or black hose coming off of the air conditioning assembly. If you use a coat hanger or a piece of wire about the same diameter of a wire coat hanger and use the wire and stick it up the hose to clear the debris out of the way(probably leaves and such pretty common).

The airconditioner drain is clogged. How do I unclog. Also there is an odor when I run the air conditioner. Could they be related.

It is definetly connected. Once the drain is clogged mildew will begin to grow.
You will have to get under the car and locate the drain. Usually you can insert a small screw driver in the end of the drain to clear the large debris. Next, use a small bottle brush to remove as much as you can. Next, take a garden hose and run water into the cowling at the base of the windshield. You should start to see water exiting the drain tube.
Repeat as necessary.
Good luck, let me know.
Regards,
Also, once the area is cleaned and dried out, the odor will start to go away.
