How to you access the AC drain tube on a 2004 Suzuki XL7?

First...where exactly is it located?

I've heard it has no actual tube...that is located behind the front grille on the AC low side..and that it has to be vacuumed.

I've also heard its on the firewall..and its a small tube coming out.

Which of these is correct and how do I access it? Do I need to replace any special clips? Do you have a diagram of the location?

It is a rubber tube that is located on the passanger side of the firewall. It will have a 90 degree bend in it facing down. THat is where dirt cloggs it. Take your hands and move the hose around and the water should start coming out. If that doesn't work, you may need to used something to "snake out" the hose.

How do I access it? Does my car have to be on a lift? Can it be reached from underneath the passenger side? Do the covers inside the fender well need to be taken off?
