Passenger side AC drip

I have a drip inside that appears to be AC related and wonder how to isolate and fix it. '82 GSL. It happens when I turn sharply after driving for a little while, all of a sudden cold water drips down on the passenger's foot. I presume it drips on the carpet when no passenger is there, because the carpet is wet sometimes too. I suspect AC because it's been particularly dry here in the Pacific Northwest.

Any ideas about what might be plugged or leaking?

There is a drain pan under the evaporator, and that has a drain tube. That tube is likely clogged. Hence, the water collecting in the pan will tend to spill out on a turn.

One method of repair:
Find the tube from underneath the car and use compressed air to blow it clear, back into the drain pan. It usually works.
