Does anyone know where I can get Evaporator Drain Tubes for a Slab Side?

I'll check my stash & see if I have any
Aren't they just a metal tube built into the AC/Heater box that pokes out the firewall?
If not please elaborate - pics if possible.
The rear AC on my wagon has a rubber drain tube from the roof but my front AC is just a metal tube with a foam grommet poking out of the firewall...

I thought he was referring to the rubber elbow.

The one connecting to the fan?
The only rubber elbow I know of is the one for the fan - I'm not sure but I think all it does is to take "cooler than engine bay air" from the interior of the heater box to equalise pressure perhaps and cool the fan motor.
Still interested to know if there's an additional piece for the evap drain tube though...

Beats the heck out of me. I've sold a few B body elbows. I'll go out & check the 2 slab cars I have in the yard & see if I can tell what he's wanting.
Some models had a rubber elbow to drain condensate from the box out through the firewall. Models like our 83 5th Ave had the rubber drain fitting too close to the engine block or exh. mani and melted it shut. Water was sloshing around in the box till it ran out on the carpet. Dealer fix was a "box cutter" to cut-back the elbow.

Apparently, we are all in limbo until Scott responds back on exactly the "tube" he is referring to.

Good morning guys. I'm referring to rubber elbows that would connect to the metal tubes that protrude from the firewall. This may or may not be an actual part. I thought these may have existed to divert the water down to avoid it leaking into the cabin. I could be wrong.

I lightened up the pics so people could see what is being talked about a little better. Thanks for the pics.
As far as the elbow going from the firewall to the blower, I bought all the repops out there and none of them fit the C-body.
I ended up taking one of them, cut out the middle and used a PVC plumbing elbow to fit my 67 Newport correctly.
For the evaporator drain tube, here's an E-body repop.

My repop fit Stan but I can't remember where I got it. Gary Goers possibly.
