Air Conditioning (Specific Alfa content)

Clay;

Check the drain line that comes out of the heater housing to be sure it is
open. On my 91 Spider it goes through the floor on the passenger side along
the side of the transmission tunnel. When mine got plugged the water dripped
in on my wife's foot and the A/C would freeze up.

While on the topic of A/C, I wonder if anyone out there can help 
me???......Every summer here in humid N.J. I can't use the a/c more than 15 
minutes without the cold air only on the passenger side coming out like 
"snow"---i.e., with apparent water droplets or vapor in an almost frozen
mist 
coming out, to the point that within 5 minutes of this happening, the duct 
actually clogs up and no air comes out.  Always only on the passenger side.

I have taken it several times to my local Alfa mechanic he has taken the 
system apart, and has never been able to find the problem.........this has 
been going on for at least 6 to 10 years!  I dread taking it to an auto 
air-conditioning place.

Has anyone heard of this sort of problem?
