Can you tell me how to access the evaporator coil on a '99 alero. There is a leak in the system and I haven't found any leaks in the system under the hood. I need to get to the coil to check it and replace if necessary. I have the recovery machine. gauges and vacuum pump required to do the job. I just need to know where it is under the dash and how to get to it. Thanks.

the wole hvac unit has to be removed along with the dash. put your leak checker down dash vent see if it will pick anything up. or if you can find the drain tube under car try there.or around the pipes leading from evaporator
