Depending on the type of AC you have, it should go out of the
vehicle. Stock Westy AC should drip through the D pillars at the rear
of the vehicle (on both sides). Stock Passenger (86 and later) AC
should do the same.

85 era (front overhead) AC systems should drip from the B pillars
(just behind the front tires.)

In Dash Behr units should drip out the front.

If you don't have drippings outside you could have water
inside....not good. If it is accumulating inside, you could have rust
down the road.

Or, as happened to me traveling the Gulf coast, you could get a rude
cold shower if you stop suddenly.
