I inquired about a wet passenger side floorboard; I was told it was either the heater core leaking or the evaporator tube for the A/C is plugged or disconnected from the evaporator case; if the problem is the evaporator tube and evaporator case, I'm going to need to know where to located these components, and how to remove and install them as well.

help me with this please!

the heater core is located inside the same box as the evaporator.

remove both heater hoses from the engine side of the firewall

remove both outside ends of the dash

remove all the trim you need to access the big black box under the passenger side of the dash

attached is a picture pretty much just have to look at see what trim panels need to be removed to gain access to it. the drain is located in the bottom of the box.
