Default are there any A/C guru's out there?

1. when i have my a/c on i am getting water from the evaporator inside the car. the hose is good, so i am thinking it is not sitting right after it goes through the firewall (being that the hose is very soft). is there anyway i can get to it from under the car? or can i just customize something where the water is release once it's passed the firewall?

2. why does it seem like the civic blowers are weak, i just installed the r134 recently and it seems even though it is on the highest setting it doesn't blow out strong and doesn't seem cold enough. it takes awhile to cool down and the the freon is good, no leaks and it's holding pressure. i've checked 3 time within the week of install.

not sure about #1, but with the blower not being strong enough, check for obstructions around the evaporator. When I had my a/c done, there were leaves and **** stuffed inside. Not inside the evaporator but all around. Im not sure if thats your problem, but i would start by doing that.

r134 isn't going to be as cold as r12 . the evaporator may be clogged or the line set might be poorly insulated

the evaporator is clean. i had some leaves and stuff in it before i installed it. around the evap is clean as well.

but when you say insulated, that sounds like something i would try just tp keep the car cool. what do you recommend to insulate my lines?
